Understanding Sever’s Disease
As kids grow, the back of their heel can become tender due to stress on the growth plate—a condition called Sever’s Disease. Common in active, growing children, it often surfaces during growth spurts or early in a sports season.
Signs to Watch For
What Makes It Worse?
Worn-out shoes, hard surfaces, sudden increases in training, and those big growth spurts can all contribute to heel pain.

Reduce pain, restore comfort, and help your child enjoy their activities again, pain-free.
