Hallux Valgus
Hallux Valgus is a common foot condition characterized by a bony bump at the base of the big toe. This deformity occurs when the big toe angles toward the second toe, causing the joint to protrude. It can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty in finding comfortable footwear.
The condition can be influenced by factors such as genetics, footwear choices, and certain medical conditions. Treatment options range from conservative measures like wearing wider shoes to surgical procedures in severe cases. Early intervention can help manage symptoms and prevent further complications.
