Severs Disease Causing Heel Pain

• Growing children and adolescents complain about
  heel pain. Parents usually ignore it thinking it
  is due to the high activity of the child. But,
  this can be due to Severs Disease, also known as
  calcaneal apophysitis.
• Sever's disease is a typical heel injury that
  occurs in youngsters. It is excruciating and
  caused by swelling of the growth plate in the
  heel. Kids can harm this growth plate through
  average weight-bearing action (movement performed
  while standing).
• This is usually common among kids and adolescents
  actively participating in athletics especially
  running and jumping sports. These activities
  increase the risk of injury if not played with
  care. But, sometimes less active adolescents may
  also encounter Severs Disease, especially if
  they wear very flat shoes.

How do you get Severs Disease?

• Kids usually develop Sever's disease during a
  growth spurt, when the muscles, tendons, bones,
  and ligaments develop rapidly. These bones and
  soft tissues develop and shift causing them to be
  weak against injury.
• Children and adolescents enjoy running and
  jumping which puts stress on the Achilles
  ligament. These are the intense band of tissue
  connecting the lower leg muscle to the heel bone.
  This repeated stress results in swelling and pain
  in the growth plate where the Achilles ligament
  attaches to the rear of the heel. As kids age and
  the growth plate becomes solid bone, the heel and
  tendons can withstand more power.

• Signs and Symptoms of Severs Disease
• The symptoms of Sever's disease are similar to
  those of plantar fasciitis or shin splints, yet
  the conditions aren't connected. Symptoms of
  Sever's disease include
• Pain in one heel or both heels (most kids report
  torment in the two heels).
• Tenderness and pain worsen with activities
  (especially bouncing and running on hard
  surfaces) and improve with rest.
• Redness, swelling, and irritation in the heels.
• Stiffness in the feet when first waking up.
• Limping, or walking on tiptoes.
• Pain when the heel is squeezed on both sides.
• Foot Discomfort.
• Sever's disease can last until your kid is
  completely developed. When the growth plates
  close, the condition resolves itself.
