Introduction

Physical Therapy in Hazle Township for Pain Care

Welcome to FYZICAL Hazleton's resource on Hallux Rigidus.

Hallux rigidus is a degenerative type of arthritis that affects the large joint at the base of the big toe (sometimes called the great toe).  Degenerative arthritis results from wear and tear on the joint surface over time. The condition may follow an injury to the joint or, in some cases, may arise without a well-defined injury.

This guide will help you understand:

  • how hallux rigidus develops
  • how the condition is diagnosed
  • what can be done for the problem
  • what FYZICAL Hazleton’s approach to rehabilitation is
