Sever's disease – what helps with sever's disease

Sudden heel pain in children and adolescents? This may be caused by Sever's disease – an irritation of the Achilles tendon that can occur during growth. Learn what you can do to alleviate discomfort.

Growing pains? These are the reasons for Sever's disease

One of the causes of the condition is related to the anatomy during growth. The Achilles tendon attaches to the heel bone: Here is a growth plate, a sensitive zone that is not yet fully ossified: Through sports activities or rapid growth, the attachment of the Achilles tendon to the heel bone (calcaneus) can be overloaded. 

This can become uncomfortable: Pain at the back of the heel – usually on both sides – or increased discomfort during exertion, such as running or jumping, can indicate Sever's disease.
