Sever’s disease is a painful inflammation of the bottom of the heel that affects children between about 8 and 14 years old. At this age, the heel bone is not fully developed, and repeated stress on it (for example, from playing sports) can cause inflammation of the part of the heel bone that is still growing.
Treatment for Sever’s disease involves avoiding any activities that cause the pain, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce pain and inflammation, and heel supports in shoes. Physical therapy may also sometimes be recommended
