Hallux rigidus is a mechanical arthritic condition of the big toe joint. Overtime hallux rigidus limits the bending of the toes. Initially, the condition is not very painful and only slightly limiting. However, over time, it can lead to severe pain and complete blockage of motion. At our clinic, we specialize in treating Hallux Limitus.
Although the initial pain can be only slight, you should definitely have your feet examined by a foot and ankle specialist, because once the big toe joint wears out, the damage will be extremely difficult to reverse. In its final stage, hallux rigidus fully destroys the joint.
Our doctors at Issaquah Foot and Ankle Specialists have treated hallux rigidus for years. Give us a call today at 425-391-8666 or make an appointment online today.
