Growing pains that won't go away? 🦶

Sever's disease is one of the most common causes of heel pain in active kids and teens. It happens when repetitive strain pulls on the growth plate at the back of the heel — right where the Achilles tendon attaches — often during growth spurts and heavy sport training.

Left unmanaged, it can sideline your child from the activities they love. The good news? It's very manageable with the right assessment and plan.

If your child's been limping after training or complaining of heel pain, don't wait it out.
