Best Heel Cups for Sever’s Disease

Your son/daughter suffers from Sever’s disease, an inflammation of the growth plate in the heel.  The typical treatment for Sever’s disease is to place a heel cup in your child’s heel.  This accomplishes two things. It helps restrict excessive motion of the heel, which is what causes the pain associated with Sever’s disease.  Additionally, a good heel cup will provide shock absorption to dissipate some of the forces felt through the heel.

Where can you find a heel cup for a child with Sever’s disease? Most heel cups are designed with an adult in mind.  There are a few that are designed for children.  One company I have found that does make children’s heel cups is KidZerts.  These heat molded heel cups are perfect for Sever’s disease providing protection from excessive forces as well as controlling motion.
