What to do if hallux valgus hurts

Many children have ugly feet since childhood. Some parents will take their children to the hospital for examination, but they are told that they have hallux valgus. Most of these patients will experience pain in their feet due to ill-fitting shoes or long-term wear and tear. In this case, it is very important to find the cause and treat it.

What to do if you have hallux valgus pain

First, if the deformity persists for a long time and non-surgical treatment cannot relieve foot pain, surgical treatment should be used if necessary. For hallux valgus, bursectomy and bone resection can be performed, while for hammer toe, proximal interphalangeal joint extension and fusion can be performed.

Second, you should choose a pair of suitable shoes, such as heels not too high and loose toes, so that the toes have a certain amount of space to move inside and do not feel any pressure. In particular, you should not wear pointed and thin high heels to reduce pain.

Third, do barefoot exercises to strengthen the plantar muscles and prevent hallux valgus from getting worse. Using your fingers to bend the big toe inward every day can also effectively prevent the worsening of hallux valgus. After persisting for a period of time, the symptoms can be alleviated and the pain can be relieved.

Precautions

People with this symptom should pay attention to eating more high-calcium foods to ensure normal bone metabolism. Eating more milk, eggs, soy products, vegetables and fruits, and supplementing calcium when necessary, can help bones recover.
