Hallux Limitus
Stiffness in the big toe is known as hallux limitus, a functional condition that can become a kind of structural deformity.
Great Lakes Foot & Ankle Centers can treat your hallux limitus before it progresses into a degenerative form of arthritis.
Diagnosis
Typically, our staff will physically examine your foot and also use X-rays to look for signs of joint narrowing and bone spurs that, if left untreated, can destroy the joint completely.
Treatment
Treatments range widely from injections and orthotics to surgery.
