ORTMANN VALGU Corrective Socks: Treatment & Prevention of Bunions
ORTMANN VALGU corrective socks provide a non-surgical, comfortable solution for treating and preventing bunions (hallux valgus). Developed by leading German orthopedic manufacturer ORTMANN, these socks utilize a unique taping technique to gently reposition the big toe, alleviating pain and inflammation.
How ORTMANN VALGU Works:
The socks feature strategically placed elastic zones mimicking professional taping:
- Longitudinal Zone: Gently guides the big toe back into its natural anatomical position.
- Transverse Zone: Stabilizes the midfoot, reducing forefoot splaying.
Unlike bulky splints or uncomfortable braces, ORTMANN VALGU socks look and feel like regular socks. They’re comfortable enough for everyday wear and suitable for men, women, pregnant individuals, and children of all ages. They’re even effective post-surgery. Pair them with your everyday shoes (avoid heels higher than 3cm during treatment).

- Pain Relief: Reduces bunion pain and inflammation.
- Improved Alignment: Gently realigns the big toe.
