FL Podiatrist Treats TaloTarsal Dislocation in Young Singer

Andrew Levy, DPM, a Master HyProCure® surgeon in Florida, recently had the opportunity to help a young patient stop suffering from the effects of talotarsal displacement. “When I was walking, there was pain and sometimes when I ran, it was even worse,” said the energetic young singer. Flexible talotarsal dislocation is a common foot imbalance that throws both the foot and the entire body out of alignment. It affects millions of people of all ages and can be the direct cause of many symptoms and secondary conditions, including overpronation, bunions, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, hip pain, back pain, and even problems in the neck and shoulders.

After trying other conservative options with no end to her pain, Dr. Levy performed EOTTS with HyProCure®. “I had alien feet,” exclaimed the patient, but “now I feel like I have normal feet and I’m a normal person.” The young girl is walking normally and without pain, allowing her to return to favorite activities such as singing in her school chorus and shopping at the mall.
