👣 Is Your Child Complaining of Heel Pain? It Could Be Sever’s Disease!
Sever’s disease (also known as calcaneal apophysitis) is one of the most common causes of heel pain in growing children — especially active kids involved in sports like football, basketball, or gymnastics.
🔎 Common Signs:
• Heel pain during or after activity
• Limping or walking on toes
• Tenderness at the back of the heel
• Pain when squeezing the heel
📌 It happens when the growth plate in the heel becomes inflamed due to repetitive stress — especially during growth spurts.
✅ The Good News:
Sever’s disease is temporary and treatable!
If your child is struggling with heel pain, don’t ignore it. Early care helps them get back to doing what they love, pain-free!
