Do you want to limit the development of hallux valgus and relieve joint pain and conflict with shoes?

The advice of your expert pharmacist
Symptoms of hallux valgus: Appearance of a bump at the base of the big toe created by a characteristic deviation of the joint. Beginning of the movement of the big toe towards the 2nd toe. Appearance of joint stiffness and pain when moving upright.
The EPITACT ® flexible hallux valgus orthosis has been designed to act on the factors favoring deformation during walking: crushing of the forefoot, position of the first metatarsal and the big toe, etc. A study carried out by podiatrists on 39 subjects showed realignment in 79% of patients after 30 days of use and a reduction in joint pain in 74% of them.
