Re: Toe walking, is a Podiatrist visit worth it?

[Guest guest]

The only thing I have ever heard pertaining to " toe-walking " is that it

is related to yeast overgrowth in the GI Tract. I know a boy from my

daughters school that toe-walked constantly, after 3 months of

nystatin/natural antifungals it was gone. Saw it for myself!!! So I

don't know if it is really a " foot problem " .......hopefully others will

comment.

Good Luck....

I was told ( by an accomplished OT) toe walking was a child's attempt to stimulate the vestibular system by engaging the gastrocnemius. When mine starts doing it I send him out to the trampoline :)Sent from my iPhone

I have been thinking about investing in a Trampoline. Does your O. T recommend any other exercises for toe walking to strengthen the Achilles feet muscles? I'm really worried about how it may affect his gate in the long run???

Irma,If you found this group, there is NO WAY anyone would consider you a failure at biomedical. You are HERE and in that regard, you are already a winner. Hang in there.PS My daughter still toe walks at 6. We've come a long way... you know, I am just going to ask for a PT referral at this point!!!!

toe walking for our son was constipation regardless what was coming out already. We gave him some natural intestinal formulas from American Botanical Pharmacy ( https://www.herbdoc.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage & Itemid=1 ), each diaper was full and smelled gross and a bit different each time, but he never toe walked again.

Irma, You can get a mini tramp and one of those big therapy balls (target) for probably $60 total. Go to the library and look for the "building bridges" book. Ask them to order it if unavaiable. It has terrific fun interactive push-pull-play activities for you and your child. If you can't find it, e mail me off list and I'll send you ours. Sent from my iPhone

My son did that too. We did OT & Biomedical interventions. It resolved but not

sure exactly what it was in regards to biomed that did it.

One of my friends who has a daughter with Aspergers that does toe walking is

still doing it but has significantly decreased. She isn't on the diet, biomed or

have OT; However, she is active in sports and basically, the mom tells her to

stop walking on her toes everytime she see's her doing it. ?Behavioral? Sensory?

Biochemical?

Not sure of the type of arsenic. Stan tested high in arsenic, and I remember reading that one source of arsenic could be the arsenic in wood preservative.I bought a step 2 plastic set. I think you may be able to find a wood set without the arsenic, but I would check with the manufacturer to confirm what the wood has been treated with.Really , what kind of Arsenic would you say they are treated with?

Irma,My daughter has always been more poopy than less. I don't think she's ever been constipated and she's walked on her toes as long as I can remember. At this point I believe it's a habit so that is why I am gonna try the PT. I don't know if I can get it paid for... my job for the week?

I don't believe toe-walking has much to do with yeast or constipation. Many autistic kids have a poor sense of gravity and walk on their toes. What to do? Yes, see a podiatrist who is well-versed in this. If you do nothing, the back of his foot will shrink and he will need surgery to walk flat.

Irma, my son's a big-time toe-walker. He's got incredible calf muscles because of it : ). Have you noticed if your kiddo toe-walks less with shoes on? My son barely ever does it with shoes. If you notice this, maybe you could try to keep shoes on all day (?). Though, I don't think anything bad could come from toe walking....

Check out Craigs List. We got our trampoline complete w/ pad and safety for $75. not too shabby!

My boys love it...when weather permits, they are on it every single day. It's something they never get tired of. I say, if you've got the cash, go for it.

There are a couple of good books put there with practical tips:

The Sensory Smart Child

Building Bridges through Sensory Integration Therapy

( I'm sure there are many more)

Our child benefits greatly from a lot of exercise, movement etc

I would also check out what the other parent said about yeast which can cause many strange symptoms.

Having a full " sensory diet" has been very useful for our son. The trampoline is one of the best purchases we've made. We have a big on in the back yard and a small one in his room. He is a huge sensory seeker craving constant input to his syrstem.

I will say though starting a biomed protocol last May has by far had the strongest impact on reducing his sensory need.

Hope this is helpful!

I have been thinking about investing in a Trampoline. Does your O. T recommend any other exercises for toe walking to strengthen the Achilles feet muscles? I'm really worried about how it may affect his gate in the long run???

I was told ( by an accomplished OT) toe walking was a child's attempt to stimulate the vestibular system by engaging the gastrocnemius. When mine starts doing it I send him out to the trampoline :)Sent from my iPhone

My son is 3 and is still toe walking. Is it worth seeing a Podiatrist...will it go away on it's own or does anyone have any suggestions that I could to help him?

If you own your home, check your home owner's policy. Some will not cover injuries related to trampolines, others will just cancel you if they find out.We have a mini trampoline with an enclosure, it's about 90$ at Walmart. It's about 5 ft across, for one person at a time... I think good to 100 lbs.

 

Check out Craigs List.  We got our trampoline complete w/ pad and safety for $75.  not too shabby!

My boys love it...when weather permits, they are on it every single day.  It's something they never get tired of.  I say, if you've got the cash, go for it.

Thank you so much , we will hopefully be able to invest in a Trampoline this year. I also wish we could invest in a wooden play yard set with a slide, monkey bars swing set but gosh they want $699. - $2,000 for these play yard gyms these days...crazy!

I sometimes hate taking my 3 year old to the local parks because I always find agressive children with parents whom do care to discipline. The private Trampoline in our back yard is the way to go. Thxs again!

There are a couple of good books put there with practical tips:

The Sensory Smart Child 

Building Bridges through Sensory Integration Therapy

( I'm sure there are many more)

Our child benefits greatly from a lot of exercise, movement etc

I would also check out what the other parent said about yeast which can cause many strange symptoms.

Would DIE without trampoline...great for getting the lymphatic system working

well...and taking out extra energy...

We also have a bouncer. (the air one)...OMG...great for boys with lots of

energy.
