👣 Heel pain stopping your child in their tracks?
Heel pain can have many causes, but one of the most common in growing kids is Sever’s Disease - a condition that causes pain at the back of the heel due to tension on the growth plate as children grow. If your child is having trouble participating in sports, playing on the playground, or even walking around the house because of heel pain, Sever’s Disease could be the cause.
A huge thank you to our Washington University DPT student, Elizabeth, for keeping us up to date on the most current information and techniques that help our expert clinicians at Elevate guide your child through recovery and back onto the field with confidence. 💪🏼This condition can be very frustrating, but with our in-depth knowledge we can guide you and your child through every step with confidence and clarity.
👏 We also want to congratulate Elizabeth on completing her clinical rotation here at Elevate! Her phenomenal contributions have been appreciated by both our staff and patients, and we can’t wait to see all the amazing things she accomplishes in her PT journey ahead. 🌟
