Sever’s disease treatment
Custom foot orthotics to reduce pain and support recoveryDepending on the child’s needs, orthotics may include heel lifts, extra padding, or shock-absorbing materials to support healing and reduce pain during activity.
Orthotic treatment for Sever’s disease often complements rest, ice, and pain relief by helping manage symptoms in active children. Since the condition is self-limiting and resolves with growth, orthotics are especially useful for those who want to stay active during recovery.
How custom orthotics can help with Sever's disease
Custom insoles can correct foot posture, reduce strain on the heel, and ease tension from the Achilles tendon. Depending on the child’s needs, orthotics may include heel lifts, extra padding, or shock-absorbing materials to support healing and reduce pain during activity.
Orthotics suitable for Sever’s disease are designed to reduce heel stress and support proper foot alignment during growth. Common types include:
- heel lift orthotics: these slightly raise the heel to reduce tension on the Achilles tendon and relieve pressure on the growth plate.
- cushioned heel cups or pads: provide shock absorption to minimise impact when walking or running.
- custom foot orthotics: tailored to the individual’s foot type (e.g., flat feet, high arches, overpronation) to correct biomechanical issues and evenly distribute pressure across the foot.
- supportive insoles with arch support: help stabilise the foot and reduce abnormal heel motion or stress.
- sport-specific orthotics: designed for athletic footwear to maintain comfort and support during high-impact activities.
The most effective orthotic will depend on the child’s foot shape, activity level, and severity of symptoms, so professional assessment is recommended.
