Sever’s Disease, or Calcaneal Apophysitis, is a common condition in growing children and adolescents that causes pain in the heel. This condition occurs when the growth plate at the back of the heel becomes inflamed due to repetitive stress or overuse, often affecting active children involved in sports like running, soccer, or basketball. Symptoms include heel pain, tenderness, and swelling, especially during or after physical activity. With the right treatment, you can relieve symptoms, support healthy foot development, and help your child stay active.
Living with Sever’s Disease can make daily activities and sports challenging for young athletes, as heel pain may interfere with their ability to move comfortably. As a parent, you may feel concerned about your child’s discomfort and uncertain about how to support their recovery. With a supportive approach, your child can relieve pain, strengthen their feet, and return to physical activity safely.
