What is Sever's disease?
Sever's disease is a pain that occurs in the back of the heel of physically active children around the time of puberty. Sever's disease occurs due to an inflammation of the growth plate due to excessive pull of the Achilles tendon on this growth plate. During puberty the bones quite often grow faster than the muscles and tendons causing the tendons to become tight, this tightness then results in excessive pull on the back of the heel resulting in this painful condition.
