Hallux Valgus is t he condition when the big toe deviates laterally (pointing towards the smaller toes). When this happens, a bunion or bony growth may develop on the side or over the top of the big toe joint.
If the bunion pain relief treatment gets delayed, the angle of deviation may increase over time, and the bunion may get larger and could end up in secondary issues including osteoarthritis. Likewise, other smaller toes of the foot may also deform causing hammertoes or clawed toes. Bunions and hammertoes are progressive and do not go away by themselves.
Bunions are commonly thought to be caused by wearing tight, pointy or narrow shoes, inherited genetic traits, and stress on the foot from participating in certain sports or a medical condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
In fact, the above factors only play a small part in causing the condition. The primary aggravating factor of a bunion is often related to the underlying biomechanical problems in the feet and subsequent compensations which causes the body to form a bunion. Misalignment of the ankle, restricted joints in the foot, inactive foot muscles, flatfeet and foot pronation can all contribute to the development of a bunion in big toe.
There is a way to get bunion treatment without surgery.
We combine Foot Mobilisation Techniques, Trigenics® Neuro-muscular Retraining, and corrective exercises to address weak and tight muscles and soft tissue that has been compensating to hold the big toe in that misaligned position to give you bunion pain relief.
When it comes to bunion or hallux valgus, the early we get to it, the high chance of correcting the misalignment and reducing the bony growth. In many cases, especially when the treatment has been delayed, it’s unlikely that deformity can be fully corrected.
However, we can still improve the function of the foot, maintain mobility of the bunion joint, and prevent the bunion from getting worse. We also manage the symptoms and address the underlying cause of the bunions which can lead to other pain and injuries.
Yes, treatment would still be beneficial in a number of ways after bunion surgery. The big toe joint is one of the most important foot joints that we rely on every day to walk. Restriction of the joint can lead to foot, ankle, knee, hip and even lower back issues.
Once it is fused, what happens to our walking pattern? It changes as our body compensates. These compensations can lead to tissue stress and changes further up in the foot and leg and need to be addressed, otherwise, other pain and injury can happen.
As fusion is permanent, so are the compensations. The management will likely be long-term/lifelong to maintain health and function of the lower limb.
