Flat Feet & Their Relationship to Bunion Foot Deformity

A shoe insert (orthosis) is sometimes recommended to support the arch. The shoe insert (orthotic devices) needs to be worn at all times, in a well fitted and supportive shoe (e.g. sneaker, or similar), for the rest of your life. A shoe insert, no matter how sophisticated or customized,  can neither alter, nor improve, the alignment of the bones & joints in the foot. Research demonstrates that a Hyprocure device can achieve this desired effect when a shoe insert cannot​ (16)
The Framingham study (14), the largest of its' kind, along with other publications, demonstrate the correlation of poor foot posture (flat foot), with bunion deformity.

Extensive experience of Hyprocure, together with analysis of the outcome, clearly indicate that a key component of the bunion deformity (metatarsus primus varus) can, in some cases, improve spontaneously, with correction of the misaligned flat foot.

Hyprocure addresses the key problem associated with a weak foot posture - the abnormal position and motion of the talus.

Managing the source of the problem can help the bunion foot, both before & after surgery.

After decades of research, scientists are unable to confirm that a shoe insert can prevent or improve the bunion deformity. A shoe insert (orthosis) may sometimes help with some of the symptoms of bunion pain. ​With the advent of modern technology the shoe insert is now considered a sub-optimal solution,

​ Hyprocure is the 21st Century solution. This is a permanent 'internal' technology to correctly position the foot. This easy & simple solution can provide around-the-clock effective mechanical control, barefoot or shod, without restricting your choice of shoe.   
                      Beneficial Effects of Hyprocure

     Hyprocure has been scientifically shown to:

  1. Decrease strain to the plantar fascia by 33%
  2. Decrease strain to the posterior tibial tendon by 51%
  3. Decrease strain to the heel by 24%
  4. Decrease nerve pressure
  5. Decrease excessive side-to-side and up-and-down foot motion
  6. Prevent arch collapse
  7. ​Improve pressure distribution on the sole of the foot
                Consider evaluation for Hyprocure for the following:

​      1. Flat feet
      2. Plantar fasciitis (also called heel spur syndrome)
      3. Bunion and hammer toes
      4. Tibialis Posterior tendonitis
      5. Arthritis, including the great-toe joint (hallux rigidus, hallux limitus)
Below is an example of how Hyprocure is used to manage heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis (heel spur syndrome): this is one of several conditions that can benefit from this innovative technology.

Other foot surgeons may recommend a complex surgical solution for the flat foot that can include cutting the heel bone, metal plates & screws, transferring tendons in the foot, or even cutting and fusing several joints in the foot, with more plates & screws. 
Note: the advanced or neglected flat foot may require ancillary corrective surgical solutions.

​Hyprocure is a simple, minimally invasive 20 minute surgical procedure
