I Have Hallux Valgus – What Can Diawin Do for Me?

Hallux Valgus (commonly known as a bunion) is a frequent orthopedic problem where the big toe deviates towards the other toes. The joint at the base of the toe enlarges, creating the characteristic “bump.” Over time, this condition can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty walking.

Why Does Hallux Valgus Occur?

The most common causes include:

• Genetic predisposition

• Wearing tight or ill-fitting shoes

• Prolonged pressure or standing (e.g., at work)

• Flat feet or other foot deformities
  

If left untreated, Hallux Valgus typically worsens over time.

Myths and Facts about Hallux Valgus

• “It’s just a cosmetic issue.” – False. It can lead to chronic pain, inflammation, and posture problems.

• “Only surgery can help.” – Not always. Conservative treatment can slow progression and relieve pain.

• “Proper shoes are essential.” – Absolutely. Well-fitted footwear significantly reduces pressure on the joint and improves walking comfort.

When to See a Doctor

Consult an orthopedist if:

• Pain persists even at rest,

• The deformity is worsening,

• Regular shoes no longer fit,

• You notice calluses, corns, or inflammation.
  

Tips to Relieve Pain at Home

• Wear shoes with ample toe space and no internal seams around the big toe.

• At home, wear comfortable or orthopedic slippers — walking barefoot on hard surfaces can make things worse.

• Massage your feet or use a massage roller.

• Perform gentle stretching exercises for your toes and feet regularly.
