If you have hallux valgus, it is important to wear shoes with enough space for your toes to avoid pressure points. Orthopedic insoles or splints can help correct the position of the toes. Physical therapy can provide exercises to strengthen foot muscles and improve mobility. In severe cases, surgery may be required to correct the deformity. An orthopedist or foot surgeon can discuss the best course of action.
