Does your child experience heel pain after exercise?

Sever's disease (also known as calcaneal apophysitis) is an inflammation of the growth plate located at the back of the heel bone. It typically affects children and adolescents between the ages of 8 and 14 and is the most common cause of heel pain in this age group.

During periods of rapid growth, the bone structure in the heel can develop faster than the surrounding muscles and tendons. This creates increased traction from the Achilles tendon on the sensitive growth plate during and after physical activity.

Effective Strain Relief and Activity Management with Solemaids

The purpose of Solemaids custom insoles is to reduce pressure and mechanical load on the back of the heel. Many experience rapid pain relief, which can make it easier for the child to maintain their regular participation in football, handball, and play without worsening the strain injury.

At Dr.Dropin, our practitioners have specialized expertise in pediatric foot and ankle conditions. We conduct thorough examinations and fit Solemaids insoles directly at the clinic when indicated.
