- NSAIDs drug: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help reduce pain and inflammation. This includes over-the-counter options such as ibuprofen or naproxen. Be sure to consult with your doctor before taking any medication, as there may be side effects.

FAQs
Answers to the most frequently asked questions are just a click away.
How long does Sever's Disease last?
Sever's Disease typically lasts for about two weeks to two months with appropriate rest and treatment. However, if the condition is left untreated, it can stay for much longer. One of the things you can do to help prevent Sever's Disease from coming back is to wear supportive shoes that fit properly and have good arch support.
How do I know if I have Sever's Disease?
There are a few symptoms that are typically associated with Sever's Disease. These include heel pain, swelling in the heel area, and discomfort when walking or running. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to see a doctor so they can properly diagnose the condition. You should also immediately see a doctor if the pain is severe or lasts for more than a couple of weeks.
Who can diagnose Sever's Disease?
A doctor or medical professional will be able to diagnose Sever's Disease. They will likely ask about your symptoms and how long you've been experiencing them. They may also order x-rays to rule out other conditions that may be causing the pain. Once they have a diagnosis, they can develop a treatment plan that's right for them.
Can I use custom orthotics with KURU shoes?
Due to the anatomical shape of the KURUSOLE, custom orthotics with a rounded heel fit best inside our shoes. If the underside of the custom orthotic (the part that sits on the footbed) is squared off, then it may not fit into our deep heel cup—which is rounded like your foot.
That said, many of our customers tell us the KURUSOLE technology offers better support and stability than they expected, and that they don't need to wear their custom orthotics with KURU shoes.
