Deviating big toe joints
Hallux Abducto Valgus (Hallux Valgus)
One of the most common foot complaints
Many people think bunions are inherited and thus nothing can be done to help them.
Though there are genetic factors, there are many external environmental influences too.
We can reassure everyone suffering from them to take hope because there are solutions which can often make a difference.
The sooner you seek help the better.
We do the detective work
By thoroughly examining the biomechanics of your feet & lower-limbs we can deduce the mostly likely influences on your toes.
Science understands most of the causes of bunions so we can identify what intervention is best to counteract the deforming forces on your big toes
Help is at hand
We've had lots of success helping people, not only stop their bunion worsening, but actually straightening the toes.
Our priority is to improve the natural function of your feet wherever possible.
This includes using:
- Foot Mobilisation Therapy when necessary to achieve optimal joint & muscle function
- Foot, leg and hip strengthening to improve posture and gait utilising a combination of techniques including The Foot Collective exercise videos
- Sometimes orthotic foot devices are necessary to realign bony positions and improve big toe function, preferably in the short-term
- Taping techniques
- Splinting and toe separators
- DolorClast High Power Laser for acute pain
- DolorClast Shockwave for chronic arthritis
