The Sever’s Night Brace by Pediatric Orthotics is designed to provide targeted relief for children suffering from Sever’s disease, a common cause of heel pain. Lightweight and crafted for nighttime comfort, this brace gently stretches the Achilles tendon while your child sleeps, reducing tension on the heel and promoting healing. Available for separate purchase, the Sever’s Night Brace can be a valuable addition to your child’s treatment plan, whether used as a single brace or as an additional brace for bilateral treatment.
Proper Fit and Toe Positioning:
It’s normal for your child’s toes to extend beyond the edge of the brace. This design allows the brace to focus support around the heel and Achilles tendon while maintaining the correct positioning at a comfortable 90-degree angle. This slight toe extension does not compromise the effectiveness and ensures the brace stays snug and secure around the midfoot.
