Back pain is a very common condition affecting millions of people yet it seems that most treatment cannot eliminate the source of the pain. View this presentation to learn more.

1. Back Pain –
The Foot Connection

2. Back Pain Facts

herniated disks @$10,000 a procedure
Every year

10. Every year
Spinal fusion is $60,000 per procedure for
hospital costs alone.
Every year

11. Leading cause for
back pain is
blamed on a
mechanical imbalance.

12. Let’s take a new look
and figure out why
more than
1 in 7 adults
suffer with back pain.

13. Seems like the underlying theme
is about balance and alignment.

14. When the back is
properly aligned,
there is an
acceptable force
acting on the discs
in between each
back bone.

15. There is no
excessive strain
on the ligaments
connecting each
backbone.

16. The muscles don’t
have to contract to
maintain the
alignment of the
back.

17. How does the spine become
misaligned?

18. It’s blamed on an
alignment issue with
the pelvis.
What leads to an
imbalance to the
pelvis?

19. We have to look to
the to foundation of
our body
(look down)
our feet.

20. The ankle bone (talus) should
normally sit on top of the heel bone
(calcaneus).

21. The foundation to the body is altered when the
ankle bone partially dislocates on the heel bone

22. In other words…

23. Let’s connect
the dots

24. First the ankle bone
partially dislocates
on the heel bone

25. First the ankle bone
partially dislocates
on the heel bone

26. then the knees
may turn in

27. then the hips
turn in

28. then the pelvis
tilts

29. then the back
curves.

30. Seems like it should be important to
stabilize the foundation of our body.
What’s the fix?

31. Put an arch support under your
foot (that may temporarily help with the
symptoms but won’t fix the problem.)

32. Do arch supports really stabilize the ankle
bone?
Barefoot
Orthosis

33. This doesn’t look like too much fun!

34. But when those treatments don’t
work or are too aggressive,
what else can be done?

35. EOTTS - HyProCure
Internal stabilization for this internal deformity.

36. HyProCure®
has been used safely and effectively in
thousands of pediatric and adult patients since
2004.

Extra-Osseous Talotarsal Stabilization using HyProCure in
Adults: A 5 Year Retrospective Follow-up
Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery – Vol. 51, (1), pages 23-29, January 2012

37. HyProCure®
is the only extra-osseous talotarsal
stabilization device that works with the
normal biomechanics unlike other devices
that work against the normal function and
often leading to failure of the device.

Does EOTTS really work? YES!

40. While we can’t ignore that fact that the
damage to the back must be addressed,
we cannot ignore the trauma inflicted on
the back as a result of the faulty foot
alignment.

41. If you only treat the symptom
without eliminating the underlying
reason for the symptom,

42. then the symptom(s)
will just keep reoccurring.

43. It’s an insanity thing.
Doing the same thing over and
over again but expecting different
results.

44. If you, or someone you know, suffers
from back pain, misaligned feet
could be the cause.

45. HyProCure could be the key to
your success.
