Big toe osteoarthritis (Hallux rigidus) - PiedRéseau NDG
PiedRéseau NDG offers specialized services for patients suffering from big toe osteoarthritis, also known as hallux rigidus. This degenerative condition affects the metatarsophalangeal joint, leading to joint hardening and a progressive loss of mobility. Our clinic is equipped to provide effective treatment options to alleviate pain and restore function in the affected area.
Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial in managing hallux rigidus. At PiedRéseau NDG, our experienced team utilizes advanced diagnostic tools, including digital x-ray technology, to assess the severity of the condition. Based on the findings, we develop personalized treatment plans that may include anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, and custom foot orthoses designed to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
In cases where conservative treatments are insufficient, our clinic can guide patients through more invasive options, including surgical interventions. Our goal is to minimize the need for surgery by addressing the condition promptly and effectively, ensuring that patients can maintain an active lifestyle.
The team at PiedRéseau NDG is led by Dr. Justine Tanguay, podiatrist-owner. Our dedicated professionals are committed to providing comprehensive podiatric care tailored to each patient’s needs.
