What is Sever’s Disease?

Sever’s disease, or calcaneal apophysitis, is a common heel condition in growing children caused by inflammation of the growth plate where the Achilles tendon attaches. It often results from repetitive stress or overuse in activities like running or jumping, leading to heel pain, swelling, and tenderness. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for relief and recovery.

Common Causes of Sever’s Disease

Sever’s disease is primarily caused by repetitive stress or overuse of the heel, often from activities like running or jumping. It commonly affects active children and adolescents whose growth plates are still developing. Tight calf muscles and improper footwear can also contribute to the condition by increasing strain on the heel.
