It's important to know that pediatric heel pain and adult heel pain are not the same AND are not treated the same. Pediatric heel pain is not the diagnosis. It is a symptom of some other underlying condition. Pain in your child's heel that will not go away is a warning sign that deserves attention.
Watch to learn more about what to look out for in your child's heel pain and how to tell if it's Sever's, Achilles Tendinitis, or something less common.

A common heel pain condition in young athletes is called Sever's disease. The name is more menacing than the actual condition, but basically what happens is kids at these ages are still growing and developing and that includes their feet. When the heel bone and tendons are developing at different rates of growth, and the kid is active, this can cause tension and strain. Here is a great resource on Sever's disease: pediatricfootankle.com/foot-conditions/severs-disease/. Additionally, Dr. Jarman has colloaborated with Pediatric Orthotics and helped create the Mikki Device™ Sever's Solution kit, which is an at home treatment using the exact same process Dr. Jarman uses to treat Sever's at Pediatric Foot & Ankle.

My 8 year old has over probation and low muscle tone. PT wasn’t helpful when she was 4. Now she is complaining of right heel pain and avoiding walking on her heel. Is it likely server’s? Or is there something else this could point to more? Thank you 🙏 ❤

From your description, it sounds like your daughter has a flat foot. A UCBL type orthotic/Andy Device would be effective or possibly an SMO, depending on your physician's recommendation. The links below offer more information on both. Feel free to contact our office directly if you have any further questions.

Hi Nazma, ideally the type of doctor you would want to see is a called a pediatric podiatrist, which is a doctor that specializes in children's foot and ankle problems. A pediatric podiatrist isn't always available in all areas, but most adult podiatrists have experience with children's feet issues too, and that would be the type of doctor you would want to see if possible. A podiatrist is a doctor that specifically treats issues with feet, ankle, and sometimes the lower leg. We can't recommend, nor do we have any affiliation with any of these podiatrists, but in an effort to help, I did an internet search and was able to find a directory of podiatrists in India which can be found here: www.sehat.com/india/podiatry-doctors Hope that helps, - Pediatric Foot & Ankle

The Mikki Device™ Severs Solution is now available worldwide. This is the same Sever's disease treatment that is used by Dr. Jarman and mentioned in his videos. It includes casting custom molds of your child's feet (the casting materials and instructions are included) which are then sent to the lab -- and the finished custom orthotics are sent back to you (All lab fees and shipping included). Also included, is the pediatric night time splint worn while the child sleeps. In the mornings they insert their custom orthotics into their shoes giving them the support and proper weight distribution in the day, and at night they wear the pediatric nighttime splint that passively stretches the calf and heel tendons during your child’s sleep cycle. There is a 60 day money back guarantee but no one has sent one back yet. Dr. Jarman was instrumental in helping get this product to market so kids anywhere in the world (that can recieve mail) would have access to this treatment.

Hi Khan, we are sorry to hear you are experiencing heel pain. As mentioned in the video, the most common cause of heel pain in children is from a condition known as Sever's disease. It's not as bad as it sounds, and most of the time, assuming it's acute Sever's and not Chronic, children outgrow it. Acute Sever's will respond to conservative treatment, but Chronic Sever's will many times require a custom orthotic. Here is some more information on how to identify Sever's disease, and how to tell whether or not it's chronic or acute: pediatricfootankle.com/foot-conditions/severs-disease/ Although that article is full of useful information (and professionally reviewed and approved by Dr. Mikkel Jarman), we still always recommend getting an official diagnosis from a podiatrist or other medical specialist. One more article that may be of some use, is our page on custom orthotics and shoe inserts, which can be found here: pediatricfootankle.com/childrens-orthotics/ Hope that helps! - Pediatric Foot & Ankle

Hi! The most common cause of heel pain in kids and teenagers is a condition known as Sever's disease. This is a condition where the growth plate in the heel becomes inflamed, causing pain and discomfort. A recommended solution to help with this is The Mikki Device™, which is a custom at-home treatment for Sever's disease that can be shipped worldwide, including custom shipping options for countries outside the US. This home treatment is based on the exact treatment offered by Dr. Jarman at Pediatric Foot & Ankle and will resolve both acute and chronic Sever's.

If you have Sever's, and it's not chronic, it will generally resolve on its own. - Pediatric Foot & Ankle

We're very sorry to hear that. Heel pain in children is not uncommon, but should not be ignored either. Many times a child's heel pain can be attributed to a condition called Sever's disease. It is not as menacing as the name given to it, but is worth looking into.
