The HyProCure Solution for Misaligned Feet
Your feet are the most used and abused part of your body. In fact, the average person takes thousands of steps every day. If your feet are misaligned, these steps can have a negative impact on your body. HyProCure is an FDA cleared, proven solution to misaligned feet and can dramatically reduce, or even eliminate your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Common Questions About HyProCure
What is HyProCure?
HyProCure is a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a small, titanium stent to help align the bones of the heel and ankle. Misalignment of these bones is what causes hyperpronation (flat feet) and gait (a person’s manner of walking) abnormalities that lead to foot pain and fatigue. For more information on the HyProCure procedure watch the video in this link.
What are the benefits of HyProCure?
By aligning the bones of the heel and ankle, the HyProCure procedure helps correct overpronation (your foot rolls inward as you move). This improves your gait so that your feet propel naturally from heel to arch to toe. And when proper function is returned, it alleviates pain and other symptoms of flat feet.
While custom orthotics help alleviate symptoms, they cannot cure flat feet. Because HyProCure treats the underlying cause of hyperpronation, it offers a permanent solution to your issue.
The procedure has proven amazingly effective since receiving FDA approval in 2004, with 94 percent of patients experiencing permanent correction. This includes children, who rarely need to have the stent replaced or removed in adulthood.
How is the HyProCure procedure performed?
The entire HyProCure procedure typically takes less than half an hour to complete and can be done under local anesthesia (although intravenous sedation is available).
Dr. Ebonie begins by making a 1.5 cm to 2 cm incision at the ankle. Through this tiny opening, she is able to reposition the ankle bone to insert the medical grade titanium stent. This supports the ankle bone and stabilizes its position. It is pretty fast and pain free procedure.
What is the recovery time for a HyProCure procedure?
Although it takes several months for the tissues throughout the foot and ankle to adapt to repositioning, most adults and children are walking in their regular shoes within two weeks. Within six to eight weeks, you should be back to normal activity levels.
You will speed up recovery time by following Dr. Ebonie’s post-procedure instructions exactly.
Is HyProCure the right solution for everyone?

Am I a good candidate for HyProCure?
Many foot problems and secondary issues such as knee pain, hip pain, and lower back pain can be the result of having misaligned feet. Other signs include bunions, hammertoes, painful heel spurs, sore feet, shin splints, sore knees and other seemingly unrelated problems.
HyProCure is an effective, minimally invasive way to resolve this extremely common deformity. Conservative estimates indicate that up to 45% of people of all ages suffer from the pain and discomfort of foot misalignment and related secondary conditions. HyProCure is an outpatient procedure of 20-minutes or less and restores the natural joint range of motion in the foot.
Once the HyProCure is placed, the bones will be realigned and the majority of the body’s weight will naturally be rebalanced on the bones surrounding it. For most patients, there is a significant improvement in walking, running, or jumping. Listen to how HyProCure has positively changed patients’ lives.
How can I tell if my feet are misaligned?
When your feet are misaligned, it leads to a chain reaction of misalignment in the body, affecting the knees, hips and back, often resulting in pain when standing, walking and running. The most common sign of misaligned feet is the inward rolling of the ankles, which is called Hyperpronation. However, misaligned feet can lead to a variety of other symptoms including, flat feet, foot pain, back pain, knee pain, hip pain, bunions and hammertoe. Watch the video in this link to find out if misaligned feet may be to blame for your symptoms.
Does Insurance Cover HyProCure?
There are many health insurance plans that see the positive benefits of the EOTTS-HyProCure procedure. Unfortunately, there are others that refer to this procedure as experimental or investigational even though it is an FDA cleared medical device backed by tens of thousands of procedures and peer-reviewed scientific papers. It is unfortunate that insurance rates continue to climb higher and the types of procedures covered continue to get eliminated. Many insurance carriers only want to cover radical treatments where the “cure is worse than the disease.” Regardless of your coverage the HyProCure procedure is surprisingly affordable. Talk to Dr. Ebonie’s office staff or your insurance provider to find out more.
