Question 4

what happens to your foot when you have sever's disease?

Question 9

can i correct my scheuermann's disease with only exercises ? is that possible? i have only 48 degree of it and im 21.

Accepted Answer

To be honest: At age 21, it would be rare that you haven't reached musculoskeletal maturity.  Which mean's bracing isn't going to be of help and exercise, likewise, will not correct the physical deformity.  If you have pain, exercise may help with pain.  Otherwise, unless you have neurologic deficits or bothersome pain, surgery isn't routinely considered - it is also considered when there is more than 70o)

Question 10

is there an over-the-counter treatment for sever's disease?

Accepted Answer

Yes: This depends on the severity of the condition.  In my practice, since severs disease is only seen in the young, i tend to recommend otc products such a advil (ibuprofen) on as needed basis of course combined with specific limitations of certain actitivis, exercises, ice/heat, footwear, education for school pe instructors and coaches, etc.  The best cure is birthdays.
