Offloading Products for Conditions of the Toes
- Janis Boudreau
Arthritis
Arthritis is a common condition that affects people of all ages. It causes joint pain and inflammation, typically as a result of an injury, the body’s immune system or other joint related conditions. Our products can help to relieve certain symptoms of arthritis – such as pain, swelling and stiffness – by preventing the loss of cartilage which can lead to bones rubbing against each other.
Bunion
A bunion, medically known as hallux valgus, is a deformity of the big toe’s base joint in which causes the big toe to point towards the other toes on the same foot while the joint sticks outwards. Our products are designed to relieve the symptoms of a bunion and to prevent it from progressively getting worse.
Hammer Toes
When the joint of the toe develops a downward curl or bend rather than naturally pointing forward, this is a deformity known as a hammer toe. Though it can affect any toe of the foot, it usually affects either one or more of the second, third or fourth toe. Our products are designed to prevent, correct and relieve pain from hammer toes.
Overlapping Toes
Prevent and straighten overlapping toes with our wide range of gel toe separators – soft and comfortable on your skin. They also relieve pain and discomfort.
Calluses and Corns
Protect the area affected from friction and pressure. We have a variety of offloading products with gel cushioning. Sometimes, as we age, boney prominences, or the loss of fat protection causes issues. Washable, comfortable, and gel offloading products can help. Sometimes getting a gait assessment will provide the answer of orthotics.
