Treating Chronic Sever's Disease With The Mikki Device

Treating Chronic Sever’s Disease with the Mikki Device

Let’s go over what chronic sever’s disease is, the common causes and then how exactly the Mikki Device works to fully resolve the condition.

Causes and Symptoms of Chronic Sever’s Disease

Causes

Sports and Strain

Sever’s disease occurs when the growth plate in the heel becomes inflamed due to repetitive stress and strain. This is especially common in children who engage in activities that involve a lot of running and jumping, such as soccer, basketball, and gymnastics​. See this video to learn more.

Growth Spurts

This condition is prevalent during periods of rapid growth, typically affecting children between the ages of 8 and 14. During growth spurts, the bones, muscles, and tendons grow at different rates, which can lead to increased tension and stress on the growth plate in the heel

Flat Feet or High Arches

Children with flat feet or high arches are more prone to developing Sever’s disease. These abnormal foot structures can lead to improper distribution of weight and increased pressure on the heel​

The Wrong Shoes

Wearing shoes that do not provide adequate support or cushioning can exacerbate the condition. Shoes that are too tight, too loose, or lack proper arch support can contribute to heel pain

Symptoms

Heel Pain and Tenderness

The primary symptom of Sever’s disease is pain and tenderness in the heel, which often worsens with physical activity. This pain can be sharp or aching and is usually located at the back or bottom of the heel

Swelling and Redness

The heel may become swollen and red due to inflammation of the growth plate. This swelling can be more pronounced after periods of activity

Difficulty Walking or Limping

Children with Sever’s disease may have difficulty walking or may walk with a noticeable limp to avoid putting pressure on the painful heel. This limping can be more apparent after sports or physical activities​

Stiffness in the Foot

Stiffness in the heel or foot, especially upon waking up in the morning, is another common symptom. This stiffness can make it difficult for children to move their foot normally​
