Hallux valgus
What is a bunion and why does it hurt?
A bunion, or hallux valgus, is a deviation of the big toe towards the other toes, which creates a bump at the joint that can become inflamed with footwear.
The pain comes from inflammation of the joint, overloading when you walk and stiffness of the toe, and may be accompanied by metatarsalgia or claw toes.
Physiotherapy does not correct the bone deformity, but it can greatly reduce pain, improve mobility and slow its progression, helping you to avoid or delay surgery.
This treatment is for you if…
- Your bunion hurts when you walk or wear shoes.
- Your toe feels stiff or swollen.
- You have pain under your toes (metatarsalgia).
- You want to avoid or delay an operation.
If your case needs a surgical assessment, we will tell you clearly.
