My Athletic Child Has Foot Pain
Friday, August 15th, 2008Heel pain can stop an athletic child, as increased activity and running only makes the pain worse. If there was a way to keep your child active, wouldn’t you want to know about it? Learn more and then seek help in improving the pain.
As childhood obesity skyrockets, video game consoles seek for ways to make their games “active” and obesity related disease such as diabetes is at epidemic levels, athletics is a blessing to many children. Since children are less likely today (compared to 20 years ago) to run outside, ride bikes or play sports in the streets, more children are becoming active through sports from soccer and football to gymnastics and dance. Since activity is imperative for health, this increased activity has improved the health of many children. Foot pain, especially heel or ankle pain can interfere and even discourage continue participation in the sports.
