HyProCure® Offers a Simple and Effective Solution for Flat or Misaligned Feet

The HyProCure® procedure offers a simple and effective solution to a number of symptoms, sometimes caused by a misalignment of the foot. A misaligned foot is not normal and should not be ignored. It will never get better on its own, and in fact, it will deteriorate over time.This problem is quite common but under-treated, and it affects people of all ages around the world.

How do you know if your feet are misaligned? Do you suffer from: heel pain flat feet painful bunions hammertoes knee or patella pain sciatica shin splints hip pain lower lumbar pain Skeletal misalignment leads to the abovementioned symptoms. As shown in the figure on the left, a misaligned foot can cause skeletal misalignment due to the: internal rotation of the tibia adduction of the knee internal rotation of the femur anterior rotation of the pelvis tilt of the pelvis misalignment of the lumbar, thoracic and cervical vertebrae

So What's Exactly Taking Place? Let's Get Technical

As shown in the figure below, there is a naturally occurring space between the talus and the heel bone called the sinus tarsi. When your feet are properly aligned, this space stays in an open position. If your feet are misaligned the talus bone moves excessively on the heel bone and the sinus tarsi collapses. It is the collapse (closing) of the sinus tarsi that causes the misalignment of the foot and the subsequent secondary effects higher up on the kinetic chain. 

The HyProCure® procedure may sound intense, but it’s minimally invasive and takes as little as 30 minutes and is typically performed under local anesthesia though Nitrous Oxide (laughing gas) is available.

HyProCure® is a titanium stent that is placed in the sinus tarsi to help prevent it from collapsing and stabilize the ankle bone.

Medical Foot Solutions is currently the only clinic in Ontario, and only a handful in Canada, that is Atlas Certified to perform this procedure. The procedure instantly realigns and stabilizes the hindfoot, while allowing a normal joint range of motion.

The overall balance and alignment of the foot and ankle are improved, and the arch of the foot may appear more normal. Most patients are able to walk immediately after the procedure and can walk completely normally a couple of weeks later.
