The child walks with his left foot turned inward

In life, many children have different postures when learning to walk. Some children may turn their feet inward when walking, which looks particularly ugly. Some children turn one foot inward when walking, which may cause the child to limp. When parents find this, they should correct it in time while the bones are not fixed. So why does the child turn his left foot inward when walking?

The child's situation is not necessarily problematic. Most likely it's due to growing pains. Because during the development of children, the growth of bones is faster than the proliferation of muscles, which will pull the muscles and cause soreness, so the child will walk with a limp. You can soak your child's feet in warm salt water. In terms of diet therapy, you can try decocting 5 grams of Astragalus membranaceus in one and a half bowls of water, and drink it while warm, once a day.

If the condition does not improve after this treatment, it is recommended to ask an orthopedic surgeon to take another look and take X-rays for consultation if necessary.

When walking, the left foot turns inward. Although the leg is not bent, calcium deficiency cannot be ruled out. Calcium deficiency has a certain connection with bone changes during development. Guidance: Actively guide children on walking posture and use easily absorbed calcium preparations, and they will be fine after a while.

The baby sits cross-legged in the womb, so the feet will turn inward. It is recommended to observe first. But if you are still worried, it is recommended to ask a local pediatric surgeon to check to rule out abnormal conditions.

There are several ways to correct this situation:

1. Walking posture reminder: provide necessary reminders when the child is walking;

2. Learn ballet: After long-term training, most ballet dancers walk with their feet turned outwards;

3. Wearing orthotics: Wearing orthotics at night can correct the child’s bones while the child is sleeping.

Even with the above methods, it will not be possible to completely correct it in a year or two, and most of the time it is difficult to get complete correction. In addition, there is another method that can be used to correct it, that is, wear the shoes upside down at home, wear the right shoe on the left foot, and vice versa.
