Help for children with heel pain
At Vaulen Chiropractic Clinic, the chiropractor in Stavanger helps many children with heel pain caused by Sever's syndrome – a common growth-related condition in active children. With thorough assessment, activity guidance and Solemaids insoles, the pain can be reduced and the child can be helped to return to an active everyday life.
Sever's syndrome, also known as Sever's disease, usually affects children between the ages of 8 and 12 – especially those who participate in sports such as football, handball or gymnastics. The condition occurs in the growth zone of the heel and is caused by repeated stress and muscular strain on the heel bone, often in combination with rapid growth. The result is irritation, inflammation and pain in the heels, which is exacerbated by running and jumping.
At the clinic, the chiropractor often sees children who start walking on their toes to relieve pressure on their heels – a clear sign of Sever's syndrome. The chiropractor has experience in diagnosing and treating this type of growth-related pain.
Individual treatment for your child
The treatment usually consists of three main parts:
- Activity management – temporary reduction of stressful activities to reduce irritation in the heel.
- Specially adapted Solemaids insoles – relieve the heel and reduce pressure on the growth zone, allowing the child to continue to be active without pain.
- Guidance and exercises – strengthen the foot, calf and Achilles tendon, and help prevent the pain from returning.
Solemaids insoles are specially designed for children with Sever's syndrome and have a proven effect. The insoles provide immediate relief and allow the child to walk, run and exercise without long breaks from sports. During the consultation, we recommend that parents bring their child's sports shoes so that the insoles can be optimally adjusted.
