How do I treat Sever's Disease?!


Question: How do I treat Sever's Disease?
Last July, I was diagnosed with severs disease. But in the last 2 weeks it has been getting quite bad and today at school it was unbearable pain. I have been going to a physiotherapist and he has been showing me a few stretches to do and he tells me to ice my foot. I do everything he tells me to but nothing is working! If anybody knows anything that might help or if somebody has or has had sever's disease, PLEASE HELP!!! I would really appreciate it.

Answers:

* Apply Home Treatment*


1. Adjust the level of physical activity as the pain allows. Don't stop all activities but do limit the amount of weight-bearing activity according to the severity of the symptoms.

2. Protect your feet by wearing comfortable shoes all the time. With Sever's disease, even slight impact on the heel causes pain. Avoid going barefoot.

3. Apply ice to the affected heel for 20 to 25 minutes, two to three times per day. Real ice is preferable to reusable ice packs, which can cause frostbite or caustic contact with the skin.


4. Place heel cups, or orthotics, in the soles of your shoes. Heel cups are soft cushioning gel-filled pads that raise your foot to reduce the pull of the muscles on the growth plate of the foot. The heel cup also increases the shock absorption of impact on the foot.

* Stretch Your Muscles*

1. Strengthen your shin muscles using a foot curling exercise. Sit on the floor with your leg straight. Hook one end of a bungee cord to a table leg and the other to your toes. Move back to stretch the cord. Bend the foot forward toward the body, then slowly point back in the opposite direction. Do 15 repetitions for each leg, two to three times a day.


2. Stretch your calf muscles and your Achilles tendon. Lean your forearms against a solid support. Stretch your right leg behind you. Keep it straight, with your heel on the ground and your toe pointed. Bend the left leg in front of you, keeping the heel flat. Make sure your back is straight. Move your hips forward. Hold for 20 seconds. Repeat five times. Reverse position and stretch the other leg. Perform this exercise two or three times a day.

3. Extend the arch of your foot. Place your big toe against a wall 2 to 3 inches above the floor. Slowly slide your foot to the floor. Repeat several times.

How old are you? Sever's Disease is calcaneal apophysitis and seen only in young teenagers before the epiphyseal plate closes. If you are older you do not have Sever's. Go and see a doctor not a physiotherapist - you need a proper diagnosis. Stretching and icing is not the answer - if you do have Sever's you may need some shoe modifications. The good news is that the condition is only temporary. Good Luck!



Sever's disease is inflammation of the heel bone (calcaneus).

The heel bone develops until about age 15. A child (usually aged 9 to 14) who is athletically active may develop Sever's disease if the calf muscle and tendon pull on where they are attached to the immature heel bone.

Pain affects the sides or margins of the heel and is aggravated by standing on tip toes or running. Some children have warmth and swelling. Doctors base the diagnosis on the symptoms. X-rays are not helpful.

Heel pads relieve pain by reducing the pull of the Achilles tendon on the heel. Splints may be worn at night to passively stretch the calf muscles, helping maintain flexibility. In more severe cases, a cast may be recommended to immobilize the area, which relieves pain and stretches the calf muscles. Symptoms may last several months.
