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.

Why choose custom orthotic insoles instead of off-the-shelf alternatives

  • Entirely bespoke to your needs

    Our bespoke orthotics are crafted using accurate Paromed 3D scanning technology, ensuring a personalised fit and treatment for your unique foot shape and biomechanical needs, not just generic solutions.

  • Clinical expertise at every step

    Our qualified clinicians guide you from the initial consultation to the final fitting. Ensuring that every aspect of your insole is perfectly tailored and adjusted for maximum comfort and effectiveness.

  • Suitable for a range of biomechanical issues

    Our custom orthotics offer a non-invasive solution to a range of foot and biomechanical problems, improving your mobility and comfort without the need for surgery or long recovery times.

  • On-site manufacturing

    Unlike many clinics, we design, manufacture, and fit our insoles in-house, meaning better quality control and faster adjustments for a quicker resolution to your issues.

  • Precision engineering

    Our in-house design skills and knowledge mean clinicians can design with varying densities and modifications such as wedging and proprioceptive nodes, to ensure optimal foot function and comfort.

  • Quick adjustments

    If your insoles need modifications after the initial fitting, our clinicians can make adjustments on the same day, ensuring your orthotics fit perfectly and meet your needs as quickly as possible.
