Toes. Description

The toes have a phalangeal structure. As well as on the brush, on the first - two phalanx, and on the other - three. On the fifth, the elements often coalesce. So, the structure becomes of two segments. Distal, middle and proximal phalanges are distinguished.

The toes are markedly different from the fingers. The first external difference is the length. On the lower extremities, the din of the first and second fingers is approximately the same. However, the former is much thicker and wider than the second.

It is believed that the toes have a large number of receptors. From these receptors impulses are sent to the central nervous system. On the toes, there are special points that "answer" for a particular organ. Often, the appearance of the segment of the foot can assess its state.

Toes and organs:

There are various pathologies affecting the segments of the lower limbs. Crooked toes are considered a relatively common problem. This defect is characterized by curvature of the joints, swelling. Often with this condition, the toes hurt, it is uncomfortable to walk, the person feels uncomfortable. In this case, cones can form. Most often they appear on the first (thumbs). In this case, it becomes difficult to find shoes.

This kind of deformation leads to excessive expansion of the foot. If the shoe is narrow, then, accordingly, the position is aggravated, since the toes experience excessive pressure and tension. As a result, begin to form on the soles on the soles. Joints become inflamed, there is swelling, which prevents normal movement.

When the first finger is damaged, the load on the second finger increases, and then the third one. If a deformation is found, albeit insignificant, it is necessary to immediately contact a specialist. With timely access for help, the curvature at the initial stages can be corrected by returning the original shape to the joint. However, at the advanced stage of the disease, only a professional surgeon can help correct the situation.

In order to bring your toes to their original normal state in the early stages, first of all you must choose a comfortable orthopedic footwear with a low heel. This type of footwear will significantly reduce the stress and distribute evenly the load on the entire foot as a whole.

When choosing orthopedic shoes, you should pay attention to the presence in it of a special insert of neoprene. It is designed to fix the affected finger in a normal (correct) position.

In the home, massage can help to ease the condition of the legs. The doctor can also recommend light exercise for the feet. For each case, an individual complex is selected.

As a rule, with a timely appeal to a specialist, you can correct the curvature within three months. In this case, the restoration measures must be carried out regularly. Otherwise, surgery may be required.
