Sever's
Disease
Heel pain is a common complaint for children in Podiatry and is often a response from the body that there’s something wrong in that area.
​
Sever's disease is a growing condition that typically affects children aged 8-14. It often develops during a child’s ‘growth spurt’ as the bones are growing faster than the muscles and tendons – resulting in the muscles and tendons becoming tight. The muscle strain on the growth plate of the heel bone injures the area, causing pain.
​
Commonly this will occur at the start of a sporting season due to the large increase in weight-bearing activity.
