Hallux rigidus, a form of arthritis affecting the big toe joint, causes stiffness, pain, and limited range of motion, especially during activities like walking or climbing stairs. Over time, this condition can make daily movement difficult, as bending the toe becomes increasingly restricted. Before considering surgical options, many find that custom orthotics provide effective relief. Orthotics can offload pressure from the affected joint, promoting a more natural gait and reducing inflammation caused by repetitive stress. Specifically, rigid or semi-rigid orthotics can help limit toe movement, alleviating pain while supporting overall foot alignment. By redistributing weight away from the big toe, custom orthotics can significantly improve comfort and mobility, enabling people to manage symptoms and delay, or even avoid the need for surgery. If you suffer from pain in your big toe joint, it is suggested that you visit a podiatrist for a proper diagnosis and to discuss whether custom orthotics can provide relief.
The benefits of custom orthotics are far-reaching and can make a significant impact on your daily life. Whether you are an athlete looking to enhance your performance, a healthcare worker on your feet every day, someone who experiences chronic foot pain, or someone who wants to improve their overall comfort and well-being, custom orthotics can be a game changer.
Custom orthotics provide support, stability, and relief for a variety of foot conditions ranging from flat feet to heel pain. They can even help prevent injuries and address more severe foot concerns, such as plantar fasciitis and diabetic foot issues.
