Symptoms
Toe walking is walking on the toes or the ball of the foot.
When to see a doctor
If your child is still toe walking after age 2, talk to your doctor about it. Make an appointment sooner if your child also has tight leg muscles, stiffness in the Achilles tendon or a lack of muscle coordination.
