Because of its weaker connective tissue, the big toe can become misaligned, resulting in an unsightly and painful protrusion from the foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as being unattractive and making it harder to choose shoes, bunions also cause painful pressure points and inflammation. Without corrective action, they can lead to functional disability, foot pain, impaired gait patterns, poor balance and falls in older adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR BUNIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While only surgery can fully correct a bunion, a range of conservative treatment options has been shown to be effective in helping correct misalignment and provide pain relief, including after surgery<sup>1<\/sup>. These include hinged splints, rigid splints, foot braces, toe separators, and foot cushions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large img-fluid\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.djoglobal.eu\/blog_eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/10944-Hallufix-email-images-v2_Page_01_Page_26.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"957\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.djoglobal.eu\/blog_eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/10944-Hallufix-email-images-v2_Page_01_Page_26-957x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/enovis-medtech.eu\/blog_eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/10944-Hallufix-email-images-v2_Page_01_Page_26-957x1024.jpg 957w, https:\/\/enovis-medtech.eu\/blog_eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/10944-Hallufix-email-images-v2_Page_01_Page_26-280x300.jpg 280w, https:\/\/enovis-medtech.eu\/blog_eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/10944-Hallufix-email-images-v2_Page_01_Page_26-768x822.jpg 768w, https:\/\/enovis-medtech.eu\/blog_eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/10944-Hallufix-email-images-v2_Page_01_Page_26-1435x1536.jpg 1435w, https:\/\/enovis-medtech.eu\/blog_eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/10944-Hallufix-email-images-v2_Page_01_Page_26-1913x2048.jpg 1913w, https:\/\/enovis-medtech.eu\/blog_eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/10944-Hallufix-email-images-v2_Page_01_Page_26.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 957px) 100vw, 957px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rigid Bunion Splints<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A rigid bunion splint, or night splint, is attached to the affected side of the foot to help provide immobilization and support.
