It is a growth plate problem and often appears when the child has a growth spurt. These kids are generally physically active and as the bone matures the changing bone structure can cause this pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Some of the risk factors for Severs disease and sporty kids, tight calves, flat feet, unsupportive footwear, flat shoes such as football and soccer boots.<\/span><\/p>\n Our Podiatrists will be able to offer a range of advice to decrease pain and discomfort during this difficult period. They typically report pain in the morning getting out of bed, and increased pain from rapid moving sports and jumping such as basketball, football, and sprinting. It is generally a condition which will resolve\u00a0 with time and good management.<\/span><\/p>\n Footwear selection is critical and often a simple, comfortable orthotic device or heel lifts are prescribed to assist the symptoms to subside.<\/span><\/p>\n We develop age-appropriate strategies with the child to give the heel opportunity to recover.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/melbournefootclinic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Heel-Pain-Melbourne-and-Plantar-Fasciitis-Page-.jpeg” alt=”Heel Pain Melbourne and Plantar Fasciitis Melbourne Foot Clinic” title_text=”Heel Pain Melbourne and Plantar Fasciitis Melbourne Foot Clinic” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”4.7%||4.7%||true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”4.7%||4.7%||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”7.8%||7.8%||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0.4%||0.6%||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||7px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_line_height=”1.5em” max_width=”700px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n With a priority on keeping people healthy, Melbourne Foot Clinic provides a wide range of professional services for people across Melbourne\u2019s East.
