Valgus

Hallux valgus is formed when the bone structures of the foot lose stability and change their position. The big toe begins to deviate to the side, changing the position of the remaining fingers. The joint increases in size and begins to protrude, the skin in this area is usually red and swollen.

In children, a possible consequence of valgus deformity can also be curvature of the spine, impaired coordination, and in severe cases of the disease, disability may occur with subsequent loss of working capacity. In addition to specific therapeutic physical education and manual therapy, one of the modern methods of correcting Hallux valgus is kinesiology tape. This method helps to stop the development of the disease in the first degree. Course treatment is used in combination with massage and special exercises.
