Pediatric Foot and Ankle Dr. Mikkel Jarman is a Pediatric Podiatrist that specializes in the treatment of Sever’s disease in children.

Pediatric Foot & Ankle is a pediatric podiatry clinic (children's foot doctor) that specializes in children's foot conditions like Toe walking, pediatric flat feet, Sever's disease, and all other causes of foot and heel pain in children. Dr. Jarman received his doctorate degree in Podiatric Medicine and is a resident of the American College of Foot & Ankle Surgeons. Dr. Jarman is also a member of the American Podiatric Association, certified by the American Board of Foot & Ankle Surgery, was awarded the Master HyProCure surgeon in June 2020, and is twice published on Podiatry Today. Pediatric podiatrists are a specialized subset of physicians that care for children's feet and ankles. The specialization is important because many pediatric foot conditions go undiagnosed or untreated until adulthood, when they become more complex to treat. Dr Jarman has been providing excellent children’s foot care & treatment services since 2002 and is committed to the health of your child’s feet now as well as in the future.

What are warts, and how are they treated? 👣

Warts are small, rough skin growths caused by a common virus (HPV). They’re especially common in kids and can show up on the hands, feet, and other areas. The good news? There are several ways to treat them, depending on the type of wart, where it is, and how long it’s been there.

Dr. Jarman breaks down what warts are and the different treatment options available, from at-home approaches to in-office care. Wart you should know? 👀

Can toe walking cause pain in kids? 👣
Yes. Younger children who toe walk often don’t notice it at all, but as kids get older, many start to complain about sore calves or pain in the balls of their feet from the extra pressure. That’s often when they ask for help themselves.

Dr. Jarman explains why this shift happens, plus the causes, warning signs, and treatment options for toe walking, in Episode 2 of The Pediatric Footcast. 🎧 The full episode is out now and free to stream on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts!

Is toe walking normal for toddlers? 👣
Occasional toe walking is common in kids under age 3. But if your child walks on their toes all the time, or their heels never seem to touch the ground, it may be worth having it checked.

Dr. Jarman breaks down the causes, warning signs, and treatment options in Episode 2 of The Pediatric Footcast, dropping Thursday, October 15 at 6 AM MST! 🎧 Stream it free on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

Can you walk on a broken bone? 🦴 Yes, and that’s why “if you can walk on it, it’s not broken” is a MYTH! Many kids walk on foot fractures without realizing it, which is why pain or swelling that doesn’t go away should always be checked.

Our MA David is busting common foot health myths, including whether hydrogen peroxide is good for cleaning ingrown toenails (spoiler: it’s not! 🙅‍♂️). How many did you get right? Let us know in the comments 👇

Is laughing gas safe for kids? 💙 Nitrous oxide is a gentle, commonly used option to help children feel calm and relaxed during medical procedures. At Pediatric Foot & Ankle, we offer Pronox (nitrous oxide) so kids can breathe easy, watch their favorite show, and feel toe-tally calm while Dr. Jarman takes care of their feet. 👣

Your child's anxiety is real, and their comfort matters. Have questions about nitrous oxide for kids? Ask us in the comments!

What is a tarsal coalition? 🦶

A tarsal coalition is an abnormal connection between two bones in the back of the foot. On a routine X-ray it can be easy to overlook, which is why many kids are told it's "just a sprain" or "growing pains."

Signs your child may have a tarsal coalition:
✔️ Foot or ankle pain that gets worse with sports or activity
✔️ Ankle sprains that keep happening
✔️ A stiff, flat foot
✔️ Limping or tiring easily when walking or running

A pediatric foot and ankle specialist knows what to look for and can order the right imaging to confirm it. Catching it early gives your child more treatment options.

How do you know if your child has an ingrown toenail? 👣

Many kids don't notice or mention it until it's already irritated. Parents usually spot it first when the toe looks red, swollen, or infected, has drainage, or starts to smell bad.

If you're seeing any of these signs, it's a good time to have it checked by a pediatric foot specialist. Dr. Jarman explains what to look for, why it happens, and how to prevent it in the full episode of The Pediatric Footcast! Stream for free on Spotify, Youtube, and Apple Podcast. 🎧

What is a "catch nail" after ingrown toenail treatment? 🦶

1 in 4 kids we see develop a catch nail after an ingrown toenail procedure. It's common, completely natural, and easy to treat! Here's what parents need to know, straight from Dr. Jarman at Pediatric Foot & Ankle.

Quick answer: A catch nail is when the pocket that is created under the healthy nail after an ingrown toenail pocedure traps moisture and grows bateria, causing irritation. It's a normal part of healing for some kids and is usually quick and easy to treat in the office.

What parents should know:

- Catch nails are common after ingrown toenail removal and don't mean the procedure failed.
- Treatment is usually quick and simple
- Call your child's foot doctor if you notice redness, swelling, or pain

Ouch! 🦶 Are ingrown toenails common in kids?

Yes, they're one of the most common foot problems in children and teens. Dr. Jarman breaks down why these pesky nails happen so often in kiddos and what parents can do about them.

Quick answer: Ingrown toenails in kids are usually caused trauma to the nail, or genetics. Warm soaks and proper trimming can help mild cases. See a foot specialist if you notice redness, swelling, pus, or pain that keeps coming back.

Tips to help prevent ingrown toenails:

- Trim toenails straight across, not curved
- Make sure shoes have room for the toes
- Keep feet clean and dry
