Tiptoe walking treatment in Malaga

Idiopathic toe walking, commonly known as tiptoe walking, is a gait pattern in which a person walks supporting themselves primarily on the toes and the front part of the foot without the heels touching the ground. At Clínica Poyatos we have podiatrists and posturologists who are specialists in this pathology.

Why am I walking on tiptoe?

Toe walking is defined as a walking pattern in which the heels remain elevated, with only the front part of the foot resting on the ground. This causes the person to walk on the tips of their toes or even on the instep. This condition usually manifests itself from childhood, especially in young children who are learning to walk, however, if not treated properly, it can continue into adulthood. There are several reasons why a person may walk on their toes, from a habit that the child develops, orthopedic problems to sensory hypersensitivity.

Ask for a first appointment.

It is important to be assessed by a specialist pediatric podiatrist in Malaga to determine the causes and treatment. At Clínica Poyatos we have been treating toe walking in Malaga for over 60 years.

Treatment of toe walking

We believe that treatment for tiptoe walking should be etiological if possible, that is, we should treat the cause or trigger of this gait. The treatment of this condition depends on the severity and individual needs of each patient. Therefore, each case is studied individually.

At Clínica Poyatos, as leading podiatrists in Malaga, we recommend leaving surgery as a last resort and always treating the problem from the root with a more conservative than aggressive approach. It is etiological, that is, we must treat the cause or trigger of this gait. The treatment of this condition depends on the severity and individual needs of each patient. Therefore, each case is studied individually.

Knowing if you’re a toe walker is relatively easy. Look at your walking pattern and pay attention to the position of your heel – if your heel rarely or never touches the ground, this is a clear indication that you’re a toe walker. You may also notice increased pressure or tension in the balls of your feet and in your calf muscles. It can also be helpful to ask someone to watch you walk – they’ll easily notice if your heels aren’t touching the ground.

If you suspect that you walk on your toes, consult our clinic, we will carry out an appropriate evaluation and treatment recommendations.
