ARTHRITIC CONDITIONS

This condition is characterized by the inability to lift the front part of the foot, causing scuffing or dragging while walking. It is typically caused by nerve or muscle disorders. Dr. Levick offers treatments to improve gait and mobility.

Common in young children, toe walking can be idiopathic or related to a shortened Achilles tendon. If not outgrown in early childhood, an evaluation is necessary to prevent future complications. Dr. Levick provides expert care for addressing toe walking concerns.
