i have taken my son to various doctors with heel pains i have been told its anything from growing pains to severs. he is only 10 years old.Is there any one that can help?

A little more information regarding my sons heel problem. It all started in one knee then the other knee,then moved to one heel then the other heel,and has the pain in both heels at the present time.This has been going on for a year now.He has had x-rays,everything.he got a set of orthotics,which were a little help. he is always limping,he can not run.At 10-just 11 years old,his condition is called severs or growing pains,is there any thing i can do or get to help him.

Yes there is.... Michael Young at michael@mrtherapy.com
Growing pains are muscles that are Shortened, This will only get worse if left untreated... time will make him feel everything is ok but some where some how it will show up again, but this time 10 times worse Why let it go and use drugs that your body doesn't need... He isn't drug deprived? He is in need of lengthing those muscles and then keeping them Long.....
If this makes since EMAIL Michael He can and Will Help you!!!
