Hallux Limitus/Rigidus
Care for Stiff and Painful Big Toe Joints
Targeted Treatment to Restore Motion and Reduce Discomfort
Hallux limitus and hallux rigidus occur when the big toe joint becomes stiff, inflamed, or unable to bend properly. This limited range of motion can make walking painful and may lead to swelling, joint irritation, and difficulty with everyday activities. As the condition progresses, cartilage wear and joint damage can worsen, increasing discomfort and restricting movement even more.
We begin by evaluating the joint structure, level of stiffness, and sources of pain. Depending on your needs, treatment may include custom orthotics, supportive footwear, anti-inflammatory care, physical therapy, or specialized techniques to reduce stress on the big toe joint. For more advanced cases, surgical options are available to relieve pain, improve function, or restore motion.
Our focus is on relieving symptoms, slowing the progression of joint damage, and helping you regain comfortable movement. With individualized treatment, we support long-term joint health and improved mobility.
