Those with hallux valgus foot experience pain and swelling on the root joint (MP joint) of the big toe, due to the deteriorated structure of the foot. In addition to causing aesthetic discomfort, hallux valgus also causes walking disorders and restrictions on daily activities in later stages.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hallux valgus is 15 times more common in women than in men. Almost one in every three women has hallux valgus. The most common risk factors for hallux valgus formation are genetic transmission and wearing high-heeled and narrow-toed shoes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There is no method other than surgery to correct the deformity in the big toe seen in hallux valgus. Applying ice to the painful area, changing shoes, and using a night splint can provide effective solutions for pain management.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
