What Causes Heel Pain in Kids?

Heel Pain in children, often resulting from growth-related conditions like Sever’s Disease (a common cause in active kids), occurs when the growth plate in the heel becomes irritated due to overuse, repetitive impact, or strain. This pain can be triggered by activities like running, jumping, and sports. Heel pain can make movement uncomfortable, affecting your child’s ability to play, participate in sports, or even walk comfortably. With targeted treatment, you can help relieve your child’s heel pain, support healthy development, and keep them active.

Are You Worried About Your Child’s Heel Pain and Limited Mobility?

Seeing your child struggle with heel pain can be concerning, especially if it limits their participation in activities they love. You may feel uncertain about the cause or how to provide relief. With a focused evaluation and personalised care, you can address the root cause of your child’s heel pain and support them through proper treatment and guidance.

Heel Pain Can Affect Daily Life – But Relief is Possible

Addressing heel pain in children offers essential benefits:

  • Physical Comfort: Reduced pain and irritation, allowing your child to walk, run, and play comfortably.
