The menisci are two crescent shaped cartilage discs that sit between the bones of the knee, called the lateral meniscus and medial meniscus. These structures help to provide your knee with stability and shock-absorption during weight bearing activities.

Sever’s Disease is a common cause of heel pain that occurs between the ages of 7 and 15 years. As children grow, their bones get longer and this causes the muscles to get tighter. When the calf muscles on the back of the leg get tighter, they pull on the heel through the Achilles tendon.
