Sever’s Disease – My Child has Heel Pain

The presence of heel pain in children can significantly limit their ability to participate comfortably in sport and exercise, and at times can cause children to stop playing sport for a period of time altogether. The most common cause of heel pain is a condition known as Sever’s disease, which occurs due to inflammation at the growth plate in the heel bone.

Treatment of Sever’s disease involves addressing a number of common issues that may be contributing to the problem, and is best assessed by an experienced podiatrist.
