Server's Disease 

Sever's disease, or calcaneal apophysitis, is a common condition in children and adolescents characterized by heel pain due to inflammation of the growth plate in the heel bone. This often occurs during periods of rapid growth and can be exacerbated by activities that place repeated stress on the heel, such as running or jumping.

 Orthotics therapy can be particularly beneficial in managing Server's disease by providing enhanced cushioning, arch support, and better alignment, which helps to alleviate pressure on the heel and reduce pain. The best management plan typically includes a combination of rest and activity modification to avoid exacerbating the condition, application of ice to reduce inflammation, stretching exercises to ease tightness in the Achilles tendon, and the use of custom orthotic devices to offer additional support and comfort. Physical therapy might also be recommended to strengthen surrounding muscles and improve overall foot mechanics. Early and comprehensive treatment helps manage symptoms effectively, promoting recovery and preventing long-term issues.
