A New, Safe & Effective Treatment
Until now the accepted treatment for Severs Disease was abbreviated as "RICE".
This stands for Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.
Heel Pads have also been used to protect against impact, and to position the foot in what podiatrists call "equine position", with the toes down, and less tension on the Achilles Tendon.
Unfortunately, many times these measures have proven to be inadequate.

Who is most likely to be a victim of Severs Disease?
Severs Disease is probably the most frequent cause of heel pain in children.
The condition occurs most commonly in children between the ages of 8 and 14 years but it can occur in younger children.
Both boys and girls are equally vulnerable to its debilitating effects.
Severs Disease is characterized by activity-related pain that occurs on the back of the heel, where the Achilles Tendon attaches on the heel bone, or Calcaneus. The child may have swelling in the area, and tenderness to the touch. Sports requiring lots of running, jumping, and other high impact activities are particularly associated with Severs.
Many children first signal the start of the problem by rubbing their heels with their fingers, or even ice cubes, at practice sessions.
The three main factors that contribute to Severs Disease are:
- Between 8 and 14 years old.
- Involved in youth sports or other activities.
- Actively growing
Hi,
I thought I would give you some feedback from someone in the UK that was
quite skeptical that this could work and worried about ordering something
over the internet and from the US. I can only say that after 10 days my
son noticed a considerable reduction in pain and is practically pain free
with only a few days left to go of the first course. Absolutely amazing
results to both his Osgood-Schlatter and Severs Disease!
Once again, thank you.
