Can toddlers have orthotics?
Asked 4 years ago
My little one is 2 years old, and she has flat feet. Should I look at getting her orthotics? Is it even possible to find orthotics for toddlers?

There is a lot of misconception in a lot of parents. I would like to ease parents' minds.
Children usually do not need orthotics until they are the age of five or six years. Most of the children appear to have flat feet and it happens when the baby starts to walk and his or her arch begins to develop.
