The disease is acute, creating a number of inconveniences and discomfort when wearing shoes, so the disease must be treated in a timely manner.
The lump appears on the big toe more often than on the other toes. The onset of the formation of a lump begins with redness of the finger, discomfort and pain. Painful sensations may intensify with changes in weather, then a feeling of squeezing and twisting is felt.

At this stage of the development of the disease, a person feels severe pain throughout the foot, the place is painful to touch, it becomes unbearable to be in shoes, because the toes are bent, joints are deformed, ligaments, nerve endings and tendons are pinched.

A leg brace is a “corset” that is put on a sore leg with a bump and secured with Velcro or elastic bands. The tie exerts a compressive effect on the metatarsal bone and prevents it from moving out of place. If the bone is displaced, the screed will ensure its restoration to its original place by tightening it. The brace is worn on the leg for a long time until the shape of the foot is fully or partially restored. In 2 months of daily use of the screed, 6-8 hours a day, you can completely restore the deformed foot, and if the effect needs to be achieved faster, the screed can be worn around the clock.
Arch support. This device is used when wearing shoes, securing it in the middle of the foot, and is made of iron or special orthopedic plastic. The mechanism of action of the instep support for feet and toes with a bump is to support the foot in a certain position and distribute the center of gravity of the weight on the foot proportionally, thereby eliminating the deformation of the metatarsal bone and relieving pain in the foot and toes. With the help of an instep support, pain in the toe can not only be quickly relieved, but also the disease can be cured completely.
The period of treatment for a bump on a finger using an arch support ranges from 1 month to six months of daily use.

In addition to the therapeutic effect, the insole can be used for preventive purposes against the formation of bumps on the fingers.
Interdigital cushions help to establish blood supply and prevent the finger from deviating further to the side. The rollers are placed between the toes at night, and a sock is put on top to better secure it on the foot. Rollers perfectly relieve swelling, redness of the finger, and pain. Using a roller daily, you can restore your foot to its original appearance.
