Children’s Heel Pain (Sever’s Disease) Adelaide

Is your child limping whenever they are running or playing sport?

• Is your child limping after half time or struggling to walk back to the car after halftime?
• Is heel pain making their favourite games and sports miserable?
• Are they missing out on playtime with friends — and is it breaking your heart to watch?

You’re not alone.

At the Adelaide Heel Pain Clinics, Sever’s disease (children’s heel pain) is the third most common conditions we treat. Right now, we’re seeing up to 20 cases per day. Sever’s is a condition that starts as young as 8 years old when the heel bone (calcaneus) is still developing, and can linger until the heel growth plates close — sometimes up to age 18. It ramps up when your child is in season playing sports which involve running. But that doesn’t mean your child has to sit out years of sport, friendships, and memories.

We specialise in helping children who’ve had heel pain for weeks, months or even years — especially those who’ve already tried rest, new shoes, or after seeing another clinician… and are still in pain.
