For many active kids, foot pain can make it hard to keep up with the activities they love. McKenzie, a young dancer and equestrian, knows this all too well. After years of struggling with flat feet, tarsal tunnel syndrome, and constant pain, she found relief through Dr. Jarman and the HyProCure procedure. Here’s her story.
McKenzie’s Struggle with Foot Pain
- McKenzie first noticed foot pain at age 5, around the time she started dance classes.
- Her flat feet caused her feet to roll outward, leading to frequent falls and difficulty keeping up with other kids.
- Over time, she developed tingling sensations and shooting pain, signs of tarsal tunnel syndrome.
- Despite seeing doctors, many told her flat feet were something she’d have to live with.
The Turning Point: Meeting Dr. Jarman
During a routine checkup, McKenzie’s pediatrician referred her to Dr. Jarman, a specialist in pediatric foot and ankle conditions. Dr. Jarman recommended HyProCure, a minimally invasive procedure to correct flat feet and alleviate her pain.
What is HyProCure?
HyProCure is a state-of-the-art procedure that:
- Stabilizes the ankle bone (talus) with a small titanium stent.
- Restores proper foot alignment and prevents excessive rolling or collapsing.
- Addresses the root cause of flat feet and associated pain.
Unlike traditional treatments, HyProCure is minimally invasive and offers a quicker recovery time.
McKenzie’s Transformation
Before HyProCure:
McKenzie struggled with constant pain, tingling, and difficulty participating in dance and horseback riding.
After HyProCure:
- Her feet developed a natural arch.
- The shooting pain and tingling disappeared.
- She was back to her favorite activities within weeks.
McKenzie’s mom recalls, “About a week after surgery, she’d say ‘ow’ from the recovery pain, but by the second week, she was back to normal—no complaints at all!”
Why HyProCure is Worth It
McKenzie’s experience highlights the life-changing benefits of HyProCure:
- Pain Relief: No more shooting pain or tingling.
- Improved Mobility: She can now keep up with her peers without discomfort.
- Quick Recovery: Most kids are back on their feet within weeks.
As McKenzie says, “Dr. Jarman is beyond amazing. If you’re in pain, it’s worth getting the surgery. You’ll feel like a brand-new person!”
If your child is struggling with flat feet or foot pain, HyProCure could be the solution.
