HyProCure (For Misaligned / Flat Feet)

Dr. Shaprio has introduced a new procedure available at his practice!

HyProCure is a minimally invasive procedure that will help with long term flexibility and the ability to bear weight properly in your feet. HyProCure is done by making a small incision in the foot or ankle that pushes a titanium stent in the natural space between the ankle bone and heel bone to prevent the ankle bone from rolling in. There is no screwing or drilling involved. This stops or decreases the abnormal, excessive motion.

Feet are the most used and abused part of your body. Every day an average person takes thousands of steps. What we don't realize is the negative impact all of those steps have on your body when you have misaligned feet. It is estimated that approximately 45% of people are unaware that they have misaligned feet. Adults and also children can have misaligned feet. Having one or more of the following symptoms could be caused by misaligned feet:

• Back Pain
• Hip Pain
• Knee Pain
• Foot Pain
• Plantar fasciitis
• Flat feet/ fallen arches
• Pain while walking, running, or standing

HyProCure isn't a quick fix for your aches and pains, HyProCure is a real solution that fixes the underlying cause by aligning your feet, the foundation of your body. Dr. Shaprio is the only doctor in the area doing this procedure.
