Bunions develop due to an underlying faulty foot structure where the ankle bone slips off the heel bone, causing a domino effect that misaligns the bones in the foot. This misalignment progressively worsens with each step as the bones are forced further out of alignment. While arch supports cannot fix the problem, a treatment called HyProCure aims to internally stabilize the ankle bone to prevent excessive forces that lead to bunions by restoring proper alignment.
