Are you about to give up on trying to help your poor feet that are suffering from flat feet pain? Living with flat feet can affect the way that you live your life. If you are active and like to exercise daily, or you have a job that requires you to spend a lot of time on your feet, you need a fix that isn’t temporary. Can you find this in arch supports?

The Underlying Problem

Let’s look at what is causing your flat feet and why you are experiencing pain. While flat feet are a problem, they are actually more of a symptom of the real issue – misaligned feet. The main reason why there is a lowering of the inner arch of your foot has everything to do with the alignment of your ankle bone. A partial displacement of the ankle bone unlocks the bones of your mid-foot which lead to a lowering of the inner arch, causing the arch of the foot to go, well flat hence flat feet. Many people with flat or misaligned feet may never experience flat feet pain, but instead will experience a chain reaction through their entire body. The misalignment in your feet is most likely why you have pain in your, knees, hips and back. It’s easy to think that arch supports are going to be your answer.

The Case Against Arch Supports

Most people think over-the-counter arch supports are a quick fix because they are reasonably priced, can be found at your local drug store and can be inserted in your shoe immediately. Unfortunately arch supports are only a temporary, external solution that provides a false sense of correction. Arch supports do not target your specific problem because they are more of a one size fits all type of shoe insert, have to be worn in bulky shoes, and turn into a lifetime expense because they are constantly being replaced and not correcting the internal problem of misalignment. If you have flat feet pain it is important that you see a foot care specialist to understand your treatment options.

An Internal Solution

The main reason for the arch of the foot to collapse occurs as a direct result of the ankle bone displacement. This is an internal deformity that requires an internal solution. There is a clinically proven, internal, minimally invasive soft tissue procedure that can instantly realign and stabilize the ankle bone on the heel bone. This revolutionary treatment involves the insertion of a small titanium stent, called HyProCure®, into a naturally occurring space between the ankle and heel bones.
