Hallux valgus, often known as a bunion, affects the joint at the base of the big toe and can lead to pain, pressure, and changes in how the foot moves. Custom orthotics are often used to help manage this condition by improving alignment and reducing stress on the affected joint. Some designs include elements that specifically increase stiffness around the big toe joint. One example is a stabilizing feature near the front of the orthotic, which can add support and limit excess motion in the area. This increased stiffness may help reduce strain on the joint during walking, compared to wearing regular shoes. The exact structure and firmness of an orthotic should be chosen based on the patient’s symptoms and foot function. If you are dealing with bunion discomfort, it is suggested that you see a podiatrist to explore custom orthotic options tailored to your needs.
