    Please explain why this happens. I started see thing on my right foot and it is the 2nd toe going towards the big toe. I am a senior and find bending down to put anything between my feet difficult. Do you have suggestions? Today, I have a balance between the left and right hemispheres of the mind and I feel this may be the contributing factor. What do you think?

  • @abi2270

    Do toe spacers you mentioned really re-align bunion toes over time. I haven't come across any videos of formerly bunion patients showing a before toe spacer use and after toe spacer us. If you have any such before and after videos, I'd be very interested to see them. Thanks.

    • @FootGeekzTV

      They can help prevent further misalignment of the toes. However, some manual manipulation and muscle strengthening will also be necessary.

      If you're looking for a gentle toe separation to reduce friction and wick away moisture, use loose wool: amzn.to/39Fmh47. You can also build toe spreaders out of leather. Or try foam toe spreaders such as these: amzn.to/3mYj031 or amzn.to/3mYj031

      Toe spreaders won't do much for hallux rigidus. Consider stiff, rocker soled shoes such as Xelero. They will be better at reducing your discomfort in the toe joint.

      If they orthotic is thicker than the insole of your shoe it may tighten up your footwear, causing more pressure on the toes. If you haven't removed the insole liner from your shoes, please consider that to increase space for your toes.

    Which brand for plantar fasciitis

    • @FootGeekzTV
      @FootGeekzTV  Před rokem

      We don't usually recommend toe spreaders for plantar fasciitis. However, if you have a hallux valgus condition (toe moving outward, away from the midline of the body) that causes foot instability (inward rolling of the foot) you may want to consider something like the Correct Toes to improve foot stability and hence reduce stress on the plantar fascia: shopfootsolutions.ca/correct-toes-1/

      @@hughjanus5336 If you have a flexible hammer toe you can use a hammer to splint to keep it down. However, it will also require physical manipulation to release tension in tissues around the toe that have tightened. If the shoes are too short and narrow you will also require more room. If the arch is collapsing and causing stress on the flexor digitorum Longus tendon you may need arch support or release tension in the associated muscle to relieve tension on the toe. If the hammer toe is rigid you may need surgery or extra depth shoes to relieve pressure.

      Preferably you want to keep the toe in line with the metatarsal bone that sits behind it. We call the metatarsal bone and toe that sits in front of it a ray that extends from the mid tarsals and each ray should be aligned in a straight line.

    It's all fine and well to willy nilly show and tell products, but without presenting real experiences this information is practically useless.
    We've tried several gel, silicon and stretch fabric aids which have all bern too tight, quickly causing neuropathy making them entirely unusable. Where can one find a real expert when one is needed? Frustrated and in pain.

    • @FootGeekzTV

      Every situation is different and every individual has different preferences, skin sensitivities and health conditions. Diabetics shouldn't be using silicone products that wrap around toes, as it may cut off circulation.
