Specialized Pediatric Heel Care

Expert Treatment for Sever's Disease and Growing Pain Relief

Sever's disease is a common heel condition in growing children and adolescents that occurs when the growth plate in the heel becomes inflamed due to repetitive stress and tension from the Achilles tendon, particularly during periods of rapid growth and high activity levels. This condition typically affects active children between ages 8-14 and can cause heel pain, limping, and difficulty participating in sports or physical activities. Without proper treatment, Sever's disease can lead to prolonged discomfort, activity avoidance, and potential compensation injuries in other areas.



We provide comprehensive evaluations to confirm the diagnosis of Sever's disease and rule out other potential causes of heel pain in children. Our diagnostic process includes physical examination, assessment of activity levels and footwear, and evaluation of biomechanical factors that may be contributing to the inflammation. This thorough approach allows us to create a treatment plan that relieves pain, supports continued growth, and allows your child to return to their activities safely.
