What is Sever’s Disease (Calcaneal Apophysitis)

Children’s Heel Pain, also known as Sever’s Disease and calcaneal apophysitis, is where the region at the back of the heel bone that connects to the Achilles tendon becomes inflamed. It is most common in 8-16 year old active children and is slightly more common in boys. It may affect one or both heels, usually at the back and sides of the heel bone, and is most painful when playing sport and running. 

Sever’s Disease is the third most common injury that we see at the International Heel Pain Institute. At our specialist clinic alone, we typically see about 10 cases per day of Children’s Heel Pain.

What Causes Sever’s Disease:

  • High Quantity of Sport and Activity Levels:  Sports and/or activities that involve running and jumping can place increased stress on where the Achilles Tendon joins the heel bone 
  • Tight and Weak Muscles:  if the calf is tight or weak, it places additional stress on the tendon making it more susceptible to injury 
  • Flat Feet:  flat feet can cause an abnormal gait making your Achilles Tendon susceptible to this condition 
  • Age:  typically affect 8-16 years as the plantar fascia becomes less flexible 
  • Poor footwear:  shoes that do not provide the correct support and/or cushioning may contribute to plantar fasciitis 

 

Symptoms of Sever’s Disease

  • Sharp pain or dull ache in the rear base of the heel   
  • Child limps when running 
  • More painful after a break (eg after halftime or fulltime during sport)
