What Is Sever's Disease?

8. Does Sever’s Disease Affect Sports and Other Activities?
Unfortunately, Sever’s disease commonly reoccurs. It’s important to rest in order to reduce the severe pain and discomfort associated with the disease. Once the pain subsides, your child may slowly begin sports activities again. Be sure to encourage continued use of stretching techniques as a prevention strategy.
It’s not uncommon for this disease to recur, and your child may need to cease sports activities when it does. The disease will cease to recur once your child is fully grown and the growth plate is matured, so it isn’t long-term health concern or condition.
