Understanding and treating Hallux Valgus with OrthopediePro
Hallux valgus, commonly referred to as a bunion, is a common foot deformity that affects the big toe joint. This often painful condition primarily affects women and can negatively impact quality of life. At OrthopediePro, we help you better understand this condition and offer tailored solutions to relieve your pain and improve your daily comfort.
What is hallux valgus?
Hallux valgus is characterized by a deviation of the big toe towards the other toes, resulting in a bony protrusion on the side of the foot. This deformity is often accompanied by pain, irritation from rubbing against shoes, and in some cases, difficulty walking.
What are the causes of hallux valgus?
The causes can be varied:
-
Genetic factors : A family predisposition is often observed.
-
Wearing improper shoes : Narrow or high-heeled shoes put pressure on the forefoot.
-
Biomechanical disorders : Poor posture or flat or high-arched feet can contribute to the development of this condition.
Symptoms of hallux valgus
- Pain localized to the big toe joint.
- Redness or inflammation at the bump.
- Difficulty finding comfortable shoes.
- Secondary deformities, such as corns or calluses.
