Babies, toddlers, junior school children and high school teenagers can all benefit from podiatry treatment at Easy Feet. Some common children's foot symptoms which we diagnose and treat are flat feet, high arched feet, in-toeing, Severs (heel pain) and Osgood Schlatters (knee pain), ingrown-toenails and warts.
Easy Feet offers a variety of treatment options, such as appropriate footwear advice, stretches and orthotics to help get your child back on their feet.
Our podiatrists are highly trained in assessing, diagnosing and managing the care of your child's foot/leg problems. We understand how daunting it can be for both parent and child to visit a doctor, and we therefore have a very relaxed and friendly approach when we see children.

Sever's Disease
What is Sever's Disease?
Sever's disease is a common cause of heel pain in active children. Sever's disease also known as calcaneal apophysitis, occurs when the growth plate of the heel is aggravated or inflamed by excessive forces during early adolescence.
Sever's disease is a common cause of heel pain in physically active growing kids. It usually occurs during periods of higher growth or growth spurts in adolescence. Sever’s disease can be in the approximately 2-year period in early puberty when kids grow most rapidly. This growth spurt can begin anytime between the ages of 8 to 13 for girls and 10 to 15 for boys
Most importantly Sever’s disease has no lasting impact on the adolescent athlete, other than pain. However other conditions also need to be excluded.
Symptoms
As a parent, you may notice your child limping while walking or running awkwardly. If you ask them to rise onto their tip toes, their heel pain usually increases. Heel pain can be felt in one or both heels in Sever's disease.
Treatment
Your podiatrist or physiotherapist can assess your child's feet and guide you in the best management of your child's condition. We recommend that your child should never go barefooted during the painful stages of Sever's disease, activity should be modified or reduced to reduce impact, footwear should be reviewed, with the mechanics of the foot addressed.
