ORTMANN VALGU: Therapeutic Socks for Bunions

English Text

ORTMANN VALGU therapeutic socks provide a revolutionary approach to bunion prevention and treatment. These specially designed socks gently reposition the big toe into its natural anatomical alignment, significantly reducing pain and inflammation in the big toe joint. Experience less fatigue and discomfort during walking, and help prevent further bunion development.

Developed by ORTMANN, a leading German manufacturer of orthopedic products, VALGU socks are based on the principles of professional taping. This technique subtly supports the bones and ligaments of the foot, promoting proper alignment and comfort. Your feet will feel noticeably better, reducing fatigue even during extended periods of walking. Restore the beauty and health of your feet with ORTMANN VALGU.

How They Work

The socks incorporate strategically placed elastic zones that mimic professional taping techniques:

• Longitudinal Zone: Gently guides and realigns the big toe to its correct position.
• Transverse Zone: Stabilizes the midfoot (metatarsus) and helps to reduce the spreading of the forefoot.

VALGU socks look and feel like ordinary socks, ensuring comfort and discretion for all. Suitable for men and women of all ages, including pregnant women and children. They are also effective in the post-operative recovery phase. These socks are compatible with most everyday footwear, but high heels (over 3cm) should be avoided during treatment.

Indications for Use

ORTMANN VALGU socks are beneficial for both treatment and prevention of hallux valgus (bunions) and other foot conditions, including:

• Big toe deformity affecting the entire foot.
• Congenital or acquired flatfoot.
• Fatigue and pain from prolonged walking.

Regular use of ORTMANN VALGU helps prevent further big toe deformity and reduces foot pain. Optimal results are achieved through a comprehensive approach, combining the socks with other recommended treatments.

Benefits

• Anatomically correct foot alignment.
• Strengthened foot muscles and ligaments.
• Improved blood circulation and tissue nourishment in the sole.
• Reduced pain.
• Does not hinder daily activities (walking, running, light exercise).

While effective at any stage of the condition, ORTMANN VALGU socks are most beneficial in the early stages when deformity is minimal. For maximum effect, wear them with wider shoes or at home. They can also be worn barefoot at home, but should not be worn during sleep. Correct physiological positioning improves blood circulation, relieving pressure on the deformed joint and preventing nerve compression.
