What is Severs?
Severs Disease:
Severs disease is one of the most common conditions we seen in children and young adults. At this age, our heel bone is still growing which makes the growth plate vulnerable to injury. Inflammation of the heel bone leads to pain and discomfort making it tough for your child to play sports or even walk.
Causes:
- Repetitive stress and injury to the heel bone like running, basketball, gym
- The tendon on the back of the heel bone (Achilles tendon) pulls on the growth plate

Symptoms:
- Pain usually brough on by running, jumping or any other sport-related activity
- Heel pain
- Heel swelling
- Heel tenderness
- Heel warmth

- Unable to walk or run
Treatment:
