Hallux valgus, also known as a bunion, is a deformity of the big toe joint in which the big toe turns inwards towards the other toes. This can create a bump on the side of the foot, which can be painful and make wearing certain shoes difficult.

##### Causes
Hallux valgus is often caused by wearing tight or narrow shoes, by genetics or by certain medical conditions.

##### Treatment
Treatment can consist of wearing wider shoes, using insoles or, in severe cases, surgery. We are happy to advise you on insoles and suitable footwear – [make an appointment](/en/contact/).
