Hallux Valgus

Hallux valgus refers to a big toe joint that goes through a deformity and turns away from the midline of the body and crams itself into the other toes. There are many factors that can cause this issue including genetics, inflammatory arthritis, systemic or metabolic diseases, or overuse of certain shoes (especially women's shoes). It is important to understand the likely cause of this condition so as to avoid complications should the issue be a result of disease. Additionally, it is important to slow down or stop the damage by having yourself evaluated and advised on methods to avoid making it worse. The most painful aspect of the deviated toe is the bunion that tends to form at the base of the big toe and that pain is usually what prompts one to contact our office.
