You just realized that you might have flat or misaligned feet or maybe you have had flat feet for years. What does this mean for your fast-paced lifestyle? Fortunately, the majority of people who have flat feet don’t have flat feet pain. But you should still be concerned about how the alignment of your feet can affect you in other painful ways. Why does this matter if you aren’t in pain right now? If you have flat feet and don’t go to a foot care specialist you need to make an appointment right now. If not you will see a few different problems in your future. Actually you are most likely already suffering from symptoms but never thought that they could be linked to your flat or misaligned feet. Flat feet are actually a symptom of the real problem – misalignment in your hindfoot. The average person takes 6,000 to 10,000 steps in a day and you have roughly 4 to 5 times your weight traveling through your feet. So you can imagine when there is an excessive amount of force that is acting on the structures of your feet you could start to experience major pain points if you don’t treat your flat feet immediately.

Foot Pain

Flat feet can present foot pain in some people. Common symptoms include: heel or arch pain, bunions, hammertoes, pain in the ball of the foot, nerve pain, feet tire easily, foot movement is difficult, and shoes fit unevenly. This can make it difficult to exercise, play sports, walk for extended periods of time, and simply enjoy life. The fact is that most people with flat feet may never experience pain in their feet, but rather the pain shows up in their knees, hips and back.

Body Pain

Flat or misaligned feet send a chain reaction of damage through the body. Sounds weird right? Misaligned feet are caused by the partial dislocation of the ankle bone on the heel bone. Aligned feet equal aligned lower extremities. When the ankle bone is not properly aligned on the heel bone, this leads to an internal rotation of the leg causing a twisting within the knee that pulls the hip away from the pelvis, leading to excessive strain to the spine. It is important to go to a foot care specialist to learn about your treatment options to prevent and/or eliminate flat feet pain and pain in your knees, hips or your back. These pains points can prevent you from living the life that you want to live. There is a fast and easy solution for you that will solve your problem! HyProCure® is a remarkable new treatment that fixes the misalignment in your feet. It’s a minimally invasive soft tissue procedure that inserts a stent in the naturally occurring space between the ankle and heel bone.
