Hallux valgus is the medical term for extremely painful deviations of the big toe that are coupled with painful bunions on the MTP joint. This causes the big toe to be slanted or even lie over the other toes. The bunion splints help ease the discomfort, pressure, and inflammation caused by bunions, Hallux Valgus and crooked toes, allowing for effective toe correction and bunion pain relief. They are deterred not only by the pain but also by the unsightly bunions. Often surgery is the only remedy. Before it comes to that, it corrects your big toe at night and counteracts further shortening of the capsular ligament structure.
