Sever’s disease is one of the most common causes of heel pain in growing children and adolescents. It is an inflammation of the growth plate in the calcaneus (heel). 🔵Causes: repetitive stress to the heel - most often occurs during growth spurts. Adolescents who participate in activities with repetitive running and jumping are at an increased risk. Repetitive stresses from running, jumping, and other high-impact activities can cause pain and inflammation in this growth area of the heel in addition to pulling of the Achilles tendon at the insertion compounds symptoms. 🔵Treatment May Include: >Inflammation reduction: rest, ice, compression, NSAIDs >Wearing appropriate shoes with adequate cushioning. Sometimes wearing shoes with a slightly elevated heel or wearing heel pads can relieve some of the pressure on the growth plate. >Stretching exercises. Stretches for the Achilles tendon/ calf / and other lower extremity muscles can reduce stress on the heel 🔵Contact your local PT for appropriate guidance and referral if needed if you or your child are exhibiting similar symptoms. ⚽️🏀🎾🏈 #seversdisease #healpain #growthspurts #repetitivestress #prevention #crosstrain #stretch #RICE #physio #physicaltherapy #betterfasterpt #injuryatlas #soccer #basketball #football #running #puberty #growthplate https://www.instagram.com/p/B58lfnWHIr-/?igshid=wgame6jncat0

Z Baby has been fussy the past couple days, and I am pretty sure since the only thing that comforts her is being nursed, that she is going through her first growth spurt. Did a little research on it, so of course I am sharing the wealth....read on. "Growth spurts Most babies go through several growth spurts (also called frequency days) during the first 12 months. What is a growth spurt? During a growth spurt, breastfed babies nurse more often than usual (sometimes as often as every hour) and often act fussier than usual. The increase in baby’s milk intake during growth spurts is temporary. In exclusively breastfed babies, milk intake increases quickly during the first few weeks of life, then stays about the same between one and six months. As solids are gradually introduced after six months, baby’s milk intake will gradually decrease. Physical growth is not the only reason that babies may have a temporary need for increased nursing. Babies often exhibit the same type of behavior (increased nursing with or without increased fussiness) when they are working on developmental advances such as rolling over, crawling, walking or talking. Mom’s milk is for growing the brain as well as the body! When do babies have growth spurts? Common times for growth spurts are during the first few days at home and around 7-10 days, 2-3 weeks, 4-6 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, 6 months and 9 months (more or less). Babies don’t read calendars, however, so your baby may do things differently. Growth spurts don’t stop after the first year – most moms notice growth spurts every few months during the toddler years and periodically thereafter on through the teenage years. How long do growth spurts last? Growth spurts usually last 2-3 days, but sometimes last a week or so. What is the best way to handle a growth spurt? Follow your child’s lead. Baby will automatically get more milk by nursing more frequently, and your milk supply will increase due to the increased nursing. It is not necessary (or advised) to supplement your baby with formula or expressed milk during a growth spurt. Supplementing (and/or scheduling feeds) interferes with the natural supply and demand of milk production and will prevent your body from getting the message to make more milk during the growth spurt. Some nursing moms feel more hungry or thirsty when baby is going through a growth spurt. Listen to your body — you may need to eat or drink more during the time that baby is nursing more often.
