Do you suffer pain at your big toe?

Big toe pain is one of the most common problems I see and can be due to many conditions.  If your toe is stiff then conditions such as hallux limitus or hallux rigidus could be the cause.

These terms describe a joint affected by arthritis which prevents bending of the joint.  There are many non-surgical options, however sometimes a simple surgical technique can help restore movement and reduce pain.

A Cheilectomy is a “joint salvaging” surgery for big toe pain.  This means that the surgery can help prolong the life of this joint as well as addressing pain.  Please book now to understand treatment options.
