Hallux Valgus (Commonly Known as a Bunion)
Hallux valgus is where the big toe begins to deviate towards the second toe. Over time, this causes the joint at the base of the big toe to protrude outward, often resulting in pain, inflammation, and difficulty with footwear.
Common Symptoms:
• A visible bony bump on the side of the big toe joint
• Pain, swelling, or redness around the joint
• Difficulty walking or wearing certain shoes
• Stiffness or reduced mobility in the big toe
