Are you tired of limping with the first several steps when you get up to walk? Read on to find a real solution…
There are 26 bones in the human foot, of which the heel (calcaneus) is the largest. The human heel is designed to provide a rigid support for the weight of the body. When we are walking or running it absorbs the impact of the foot when it hits the ground, and springs us forward into our next stride. Experts say that the stress placed on a foot when walking may be 3 to 4 times our body weight, and up to 10 times when running. Consequently, the heel is vulnerable to damage, and ultimately pain.
The most common cause of heel pain relates to the faulty structure of the foot; the mechanical overload due to the misaligned hind-foot bones. For example, people who have problems with their arches, either overly flat feet or high-arched feet, are more prone to developing plantar fasciitis.
Treatment options include splints, but those are bulky, retain heat, can be uncomfortable, and aren’t a long-term solution. Inserts and orthotics are another option, but again, those are not long-term, permanent solutions.
A proven option is HyProCure®. To date, nearly 50,000 procedures have been performed by HyProCure trained specialists all over the world in nearly 60 countries. HyProCure has helped improve the quality of life in pediatric, adult and geriatric patients. Unlike other devices, HyProcure is internal solution for an internal problem as it fixes the faulty foot mechanics caused by misaligned feet. HyProCure is a small titanium stent that is inserted into the sinus tarsi fixing hyperpronation at its root by keeping the sinus tarsi in a stable open position as nature intended. This keeps your ankle bone from sliding forward and off of your heel bone and the rest of your body in its natural alignment.
