Treatment Options For Sever's Disease

Supportive Shoes And Inserts

Doctors may recommend supportive shoes and inserts in a situation where the pain has become intolerable. The supportive shoes and insoles play an important role in protecting the foot during the healing period. Along with the supportive shoes are the inserts designed to relieve the discomfort of the shoes and also correct biomechanical flaws. Generally, the supportive shoes and inserts act like cushions that provide support to the sole.

Although Sever’s disease resolves quickly in some children, it can recur if there are no long-term measures taken to protect the heel during the child’s growth phase. One of the critical long-term measures is to make sure kids wear high-quality and well-fitting shoes. Besides orthopedic shoes, doctors may recommend shoes with open backs, such as clogs and sandals that don’t rub the affected heel.
