Wat te doen bij de ziekte van Sever?
De belangrijkste behandeling bij de ziekte van Sever is het terugbrengen van de belasting tot binnen de pijngrens. Zowel de omvang als de intensiteit moeten verminderd worden. Vooral langdurige en intensieve sporten (rennen, springen, sprinten) moeten vermeden worden. Pijn is het signaal om rust te houden.

What causes apophysitis in children?
Apophysitis is an inflammation or stress injury to the areas on or around growth plates in children and adolescents. Apophysitis is usually caused by repetitive overuse activities like running, jumping, and throwing but can also occur as an acute injury with a fall or rapid, powerful movement.

What is apophysitis (growth plate)?
“Apophysitis” is the medical term used to indicate inflammation and stress injury where a muscle and its tendon attaches to the area on a bone where growth occurs in a child or adolescent, an area called the “growth plate.” Apophysitis is commonly seen in active, growing children and adolescents.
Why is the Apophysis so dangerous?
The apophysis, as well as other growth plates, are the weakest link in the musculoskeletal system and are prone to injury from direct trauma or repetitive stress. Apophysitis, which means inflammation of the growth plate, develops in children due to chronic traction of a tendon at its insertion onto the growth plate.
