Insoles for valgus in adults

Orteka gives you tips on how not to get lost in the world of insoles and how to choose the insoles that have the best effect for you and your foot.

Is it necessary to wear splints for a valgus deformity?

A valgus deformity (also called gout) is a condition in which the 'bone' ('hump') begins to protrude. The unpleasant thing about this curvature is that it occurs more often in the fairer sex - it puts strain on the beautiful, easy gait and causes pain. Flat feet also begin to develop.

The main cause of this deformity is wearing inappropriate footwear - tight socks, heels higher than 7 cm. Orthopedists advise against wearing heels at all, as they incorrectly distribute the load on the foot and cause circulatory problems. Problems with the endocrine system, genetic causes or osteoporosis are less likely to be the cause of a curvature.

What should be done if a curvature is detected?

Many people start looking for home remedies and find their own remedies. The path of research often leads to 'splints' - constructions that are intended to bring the bone into place. But if you look at the principle, especially in the later stages, a 'splint' corrects the protrusion in the same way that a hat changes the shape of the head. It can also be traumatic and cause more pain in the problem area. The compression disrupts blood circulation and the pressure also traumatizes the soft tissues. In addition, correct alignment is important to avoid causing more damage and accelerating the deformation process.

It is important not to delay a visit to a specialist who will be able to determine the extent of the problem and give advice on treatment. Hesitating for too long can lead to complications that cannot be completely resolved even with surgery. X-rays are beneficial in diagnosis because they provide the most accurate impression possible of the general location of the bones. It is important not to confuse the symptoms of valgus deformity with other conditions in order to find the right treatment.

Types of orthopedic insoles for footwear

Universal orthopedic insoles for women's and men's shoes

Universal insoles are standard insoles suitable for all categories of users to prevent foot problems. They are made according to the typical parameters of the average foot and do not take into account individual foot characteristics, including various pathologies.

If you have a healthy foot, a universal insole is ideal for preventing foot disease.

Which universal insoles does Ortek offer?

The orthopedic insoles ORTMANN SolaPro Favora help to reduce walking difficulties, improve posture and relieve knee and back pain. ORTMANN FAVORA reliably supports your feet and ensures a pleasant and light foot climate all day long.

ORTMANN SolaPro Viva-m orthopedic insoles for men distribute the load over the entire foot area and support the transverse and longitudinal arch. The insoles prevent the development of pathological conditions and reduce pressure on the spine and ankles.

The Ortmann SolaPro Viva Summer orthopedic insoles relieve the heel, distribute the load across the entire foot area, support the transverse and longitudinal arch, improve blood circulation and prevent symptoms of fatigue.

Commercial insoles are also referred to as sports insoles. Only athletic insoles are designed for athletic shoes to minimize the risk of tendon and muscle injuries, pain and discomfort.

The main advantages of sports insoles are.

• They help increase foot stability and prevent supination injuries;
• In the case of flat feet, they not only relieve pain and discomfort, but also have a health-promoting effect;
• a layer of high-quality polyurethane soft foam ensures optimal cushioning when running, comfort during Nordic walking and long walks;
• The cup-shaped depressions in the design of orthopedic sports insoles are recommended for patients with problems in the heel and big toe joints, as well as with degenerative changes in the cartilage of the lower limbs.

Therapeutic and prophylactic insoles for various foot diseases

What types of insoles are there for hallux valgus?

Hallux Valgus - a valgus deformity of the big toe, popularly known as 'hallux valgus' or 'foot bump' - is one of the most common foot diseases that clinically looks like a deviation of the big toe towards the inside of the foot. In this case, a lump forms in the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe, which becomes inflamed and painful due to the pressure of the shoe.

The Ortmann SolaPro Comfort orthopedic shoe is suitable for forefoot joints of 1-2 degrees, hallus valgus and corns. Ortmann SolaPro Comfort supports the forefoot and prevents the development of pathological conditions.

Ortmann SolaPro Lady insoles are also indicated for valgus. They provide stability when walking, distribute the pressure on the forefoot evenly and promote healthy foot skin.

ORTMANN SolaPro Comfort-m orthopedic midsole supports the forefoot and redistributes pressure on the foot. Reduces the load on the spine and joints of the foot and prevents the development of pathological conditions.

Overnight dressing for the big toe

One variant is night bandages. These pull the first toe out of the misalignment and prevent deformities from developing. They are not called night dressings for nothing: they may only be put on while sleeping and may not be walked on or put on with shoes. The night bandage for the big toe consists of a rigid polyethylene plate that adapts to the contours of the foot. A rigid orthopedic thumb splint is placed between the first and second toes. A soft leather buckle and Velcro fastener secure the toes without causing discomfort.

Articulating valgus splints get their name from the way they work: they do not interfere with the natural movement of the joint when walking, but only restrict the irregular movements that cause deformity. The splints can be worn with shoes, but the shoe size must be unusual: a valgus splint is 6-8 millimeters wider than the foot. The orthosis can be worn daily and does not cause any discomfort. This insole relieves pressure on the joint, corrects gait, relieves pain and inhibits inflammation.

How do I choose a pull-up brace?

A bandage is an orthopedic product designed to correct varus and valgus heel position, as well as pathological conditions of the ankle joint and heel bone. They are also used for heel spurs (plantar fasciitis) and in rehabilitation after fractures of the heel bone.

Why are shoe cushions used for heel spurs?

• To speed healing by reducing pressure on the soft tissues in the heel spur area;
• Relieving pressure on the heel;
• They provide a pleasant feeling when walking;
• to reduce pain;
• Protection against shocks while walking;
• Increase blood circulation.

Bunions are divided into gel, silicone and leather.

Leather bunions are versatile models with medium stiffness. These models are usually more expensive, but more durable and of high quality. Natural leather also has good ventilation properties and creates a favorable microclimate that can prevent unpleasant odors.

The ORTMANN SolaMed Local insole is made of leather and designed for all types of shoes with stiff buttocks. The latex padding modifies the load on the heel bulb area and provides balance when walking, while the leather absorbs moisture and odors well and keeps feet healthy.

Silicone soles are practical products made from special medical grade silicone. They are primarily used to prevent cracking and blistering. Silicone soles fit well into the shoe and do not slip out. They can be used when walking in everyday or work shoes and during sporting activities.

ORTMANN Nilus is made from two types of abrasion-resistant medical grade silicone: harder and stronger at the edges and softer in the middle. The shock-absorbing properties of the instep reduce the cushioning load on the spine and lower extremity joints when walking.

Silicone toe separator

A silicone toe separator is indicated for deviation of the little toe, for ingrowth of the nail bed into the lateral ridges of the big toe and for hallux valgus (deviation of the big toe into the sole of the foot). The silicone plates gently separate the toes, preventing chafing, blistering and flare-ups.

How do I wear silicone toe pads?

These orthoses are worn in two ways:

• at night or during rest periods, without the use of baffles when walking, for walking;
• for walking in outdoor shoes, they can be worn throughout the day, taking them off at home and before bed.

Wash the baffle after wearing it. They are quite easy to care for; the product can be washed in warm soapy water.

The ORTMANN Molli toe bridge made of special TRIBLOCK polymer gel helps to quickly and effectively relieve pain and discomfort in the toe area and between the toes in the event of blisters, abrasions, deformations, treatment of bruises and inflammation of the toe joints.

The ORTMAN Inton correction insole effectively separates compressed toes, prevents friction, prevents calluses and abrasions and perfectly softens the skin in the gel contact zone. The protector is made of TRIBLOCK Gel, which consists of 80% mineral oils. These moisturize the skin and help soften calluses.

When should you buy orthotics to treat and prevent valgus deformities?

There is a risk group for valgus deformities, which can develop even with relatively safe footwear. Patients who belong to this group should consult an orthopedist and purchase individually tailored shoe insoles before the first symptoms appear. Risk factors for valgus deformity include:

– Diseases of the spine (scoliosis, etc.) and joints of the lower limbs;

– Menopause and other symptoms of hormonal imbalance in the reproductive area;

Where is the best place to order the production of custom-made orthoses in Moscow for valgus deformity?

This makes it possible to accurately determine the type and degree of pathology and take into account all the individual characteristics of the patient's foot.

The use of incorrectly made insoles can aggravate existing imbalances in the anatomical structure of the foot and provoke accelerated development of pathology. The price of custom-made insoles in Moscow is not high enough to risk your beauty and health.

Different types of orthopedic splints for the big toe.

Depending on the severity of the disease, its cause and other individual factors, different types of splints can be used to treat the big toe:

• Classic splints are made of a dense but soft and flexible material that allows for easy immobilization. This type of device is more often used for prophylactic purposes to prevent the development of hallux valgus when there is a tendency to this pathology and to relieve forefoot pain caused by various joint diseases.
• The reinforced thumb brace is the best choice for treating the initial stages of valgus deformity. It has a metal plate that ensures secure fixation of the big toe joint and promotes its straightening. It also helps reduce pressure on the forefoot and reduces discomfort when wearing shoes.
• The Night Tread Bandage differs from the models mentioned above in its particularly rigid construction. Thanks to the plastic joint that connects the components of the bandage, the position of the metatarsophalangeal joint and its mobility can be adjusted, which creates optimal conditions for its straightening. It can be used to correct various degrees of calcaneal torsion (including severe ones) and in rehabilitation after hallux valgus correction surgery. It is important to note that toggle splints can only be used on the stationary foot, so walking with such a splint is strictly prohibited (it is best to wear them before going to bed or during rest).
