Children's foot valgus correction

Children with valgus feet can usually be seen when the baby is born. This is because the baby's foot muscles are deformed due to abnormal development while in the mother's body. As a parent, if you find that your baby has this condition, you should seek treatment in time. Of course, if the foot eversion is caused by acquired lifestyle habits, it is relatively easy to cure.

Hallux valgus, also known as clubfoot, is a developmental deformity that is usually discovered when a child is just born. Foot valgus can occur in one or both feet. Foot valgus is mainly caused by the failure of the development of the foot tendons and ligaments during the development process, which fails to synchronize the development of other tendons and ligaments of the foot, causing the foot to twist downward and inward. This causes the bones of the foot to move out of position, and the foot becomes stiff and unable to return to its normal position. Hallux valgus can cause great harm to children. Therefore, parents should take their babies to the hospital for treatment in time and choose symptomatic treatment according to the condition.

1. It is best to start treatment for hallux valgus within nine months of the baby. If the treatment method is chosen well, the effect is very ideal. The treatment method is also effective for older babies and can correct the deformity. If the hallux valgus is severe, surgical treatment is required.

2. To treat baby's hallux valgus, you can use manual therapy, which is massage therapy. Generally, after several weeks of manual therapy, the various bones of the foot can be repaired to their normal position, and the deformity of the foot can be gradually corrected. After manual treatment, it is best to apply plaster on the feet and calves, and the effect will be better in 5-7 days.

3. To treat baby's hallux valgus, you can also wrap the outside of the ankle joint with cotton pads. This method can usually restore the hallux valgus to a normal state in about three months without any sequelae. It is recommended that parents can appropriately supplement their baby with calcium and vitamin D, or go out to bask in the sun, which is good for treating baby's hallux valgus.

Note:

Hallux valgus is not a very serious disease for babies. As long as it is treated as early as possible, the recovery effect is still very good. I hope parents can pay attention to it. They can put orthopedic shoes on their babies and tie their lower limbs together when they sleep at night.
