What is Severs Disease?
Sever’s disease is an inflammation of the growth plate in the back of the heel bone.
While it’s common, it should not be ignored, as poor management can lead to ongoing pain, reduced sport participation, and frustration for both kids and parents.
It can be effectively managed with the right approach.
