What's Hallux Valgus and Can a Toe Protector Help?

Hallux Valgus is a progressive foot deformity in which the first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint is affected, causing the first and second toe to overlap and is often accompanied by significant functional disability and foot pain and reduced quality of life. With a comfortable and durable toe separator you can help reduce pain, increase your mobility and correct the toe deformity.

What Else Can I Do To Avoid Painful Surgery?

If possible it's highly preferable to avoid surgery due to the cost, post operative recovery and general inconvenience. The Hallux Valgus Toe Separator is a great choice to help prevent the need for surgery but there are several other things that may help:

• Adjustment of footwear to help in eliminating friction at the level of the medial eminence (bunion)
• Buy a shoe with a wider and deeper toe box
• Achilles tendon contracture may require stretching or even lengthening via physiotherapy

This type of treatment is best applied in the early stage when the secondary contractures of the soft tissues and the alterations of the articular surfaces have not become permanent so buy your toe separator as early as possible.
