Most doctors dismiss any pediatric foot issues as being a part of normal structural development that children will eventually outgrow. However, foot problems are often prevalent in children due to their high levels of physical activity. Children are resilient, meaning that any potential foot issues may be overlooked.
- Plantar Fasciitis“I had plantar fasciitis in my left foot for about a year. I went to a podiatrist in Hialeah, Florida and he prescribed an anti-inflammatory and pain-killers to treat the fasciitis. I used to have a horrible pain, especially in the morning, every time I would take a step. It was as if needles were going into my heel. The prescription that I received from the doctor gave me a lot of pain in my stomach. Though the pain in my foot subsided a little, the pain that I got from the medication was a lot stronger than the pain in my foot. Therefore, I stopped going to the podiatrist in Hialeah. The pain continued in my foot until I found a doctor named Dr. Craig Stam. He told that because I have a sensitive stomach, I would have to use an orthopedic pad (custom-made orthotics). With the orthopedic pad (custom-made orthotics), the pain in my foot would eventually wear off. Now I wear the orthopedic pad every day and can go do extreme workouts without any pain in my foot. I sometimes feel slightly discomfort when I work out too hard or have a very busy day on my feet all day long. But it goes way after I rest. I want to thank Dr. Craig Stam for helping me in this endeavor that I had with my heel. He is a great doctor with a lot of knowledge. He and his staff are super friendly and really professional with their appeal.”
