Do you have flat feet pain that is interfering with your life? Then now is the time to take care of your feet to get your life back to normal. You might have found that reconstructive foot surgery is an option for you while you were doing some research online. But do you really need to have an extensive surgery to treat your flat feet pain?

The Basics

Let’s first go over the basics of reconstructive foot surgery. There are several different types of “corrective” procedures that can be used on your foot to try to reconstruct your foot which is caused by misalignment. Your foot surgeon would choose a combination of procedures to repair ligaments and tendons, or cut and shift bones, or cut out a joint to fuse bones together to help increase support to the arch. These procedures include bone grafts, screws, plates and other invasive techniques to help with the misalignment in your foot. You might be wondering why fixing the misalignment in your foot will help with your flat feet pain. Misalignment in your feet causes a chain reaction in the rest of your body. This chain reaction can cause pain not only in your feet, but in your knees, your hips and even your back! Misalignment can also be the cause of bunions, hammertoes, plantar fasciitis and more in your feet.

The Better Option

If reconstructive foot surgery doesn’t sound like the best option for you, luckily for you there is another option available. HyProCure® is a minimally invasive soft tissue procedure that can help you with the misalignment in your feet. This is caused by the ankle bone slipping off of the heel bone. A titanium stent is placed in the naturally occurring space in the hindfoot and prevents the misalignment that is found in your foot. HyProCure® has a faster recovery time compared to other extensive surgeries and doctors have had much success with the amount of activity patients can do soon after the procedure. HyProCure® can give you your life back. There are many success stories from patients who have had HyProCure® done on their feet. Think that this procedure is right for you?
