Children’s Podiatry in Kettering & Market Harborough
Gentle, friendly foot care for growing feet.
Children’s feet are constantly growing and developing, and many foot problems can be treated more effectively when they’re assessed early.
At Next Step Podiatry, we provide compassionate, age-appropriate care in a relaxed environment, helping children feel comfortable while giving parents the reassurance they need.
Whether your child has a painful ingrown toenail, persistent verruca or foot pain that’s affecting their daily activities, we’re here to help.
How can we help?
👣 Ingrown Toenails
Early treatment can often prevent an ingrown toenail from becoming infected or more painful. We’ll assess your child’s toe and discuss the most appropriate treatment options.
🩹 Ingrown Toenail Surgery
Where conservative treatment is no longer effective, we also offer nail surgery under local anaesthetic for suitable children and teenagers. We’ll explain the procedure carefully and ensure both you and your child feel fully informed.
🦶 Foot Pain Assessments
Children shouldn’t simply “grow out” of persistent foot pain. We assess growing feet, walking patterns and lower limb function to identify the cause of symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment where needed.
⚡ Verruca Treatment
Most verrucas and warts are harmless, but some become painful or persistent. We offer a range of treatment options, including Swift® Microwave Therapy, one of the most advanced verruca treatments available.
