Treatment of cones on legs. Available methods

With the onset of middle age, women often have an unpleasant problem - the deformity of the thumb of the foot occurs, which leads to the formation of so-called "cones". They bring with them not only various inconveniences (impossibility to wear shoes of their size, development of complexes due to the arising constraint, etc.), but also constant pain, which can be so strong that it is almost impossible to step on the foot. Usually, the tumor is directed toward the inner side of the leg (with the thumb leaning outwards), but in rare cases there are cones on the feet (the thumb is tilted upwards). This is much faster leads to even more serious consequences.

The reasons for which cones appear on the legs are not fully understood. Cases of outgrowth in cases of abnormalities in the endocrine system, in the occurrence of flat feet, in injuries or in wearing uncomfortable shoes were noted. Do not discount the genetic factors. But, fortunately, the owners of this disease, the treatment of cones on the legs is possible at almost any age and at any degree of deformation. This is achieved in several ways: with the help of orthopedic adaptations, surgical intervention and folk remedies.

The most accessible and widespread method is the treatment of cones on the legs with the help of special orthopedic inserts for shoes. Of course, such treatment does not guarantee a 100% disposal of the deformity that has arisen. But, at least, it can prevent its further development and provide practically painless movement without outside help.

Surgical treatment of cones on the legs is in most cases not welcomed. This is explained by the fact that the bulk of operations are based either on the grinding of the protruding bone, or on the complete removal of its protruding section. In both cases, the patient leaves the clinic with movement restrictions. In the first case, pain can remain for the rest of your life, and besides this, there is a very high risk of serious injury or re-occurrence of the disease, and in the second case, the thumb is held only on the skin. Positive results can be only after a number of plastic operations, including not only the removal of the "cone," but also the removal of flatfoot by moving the tendons.

Treatment of cones on the legs with the help of alternative medicine can only temporarily remove pain and inflammation in the joint. With the deformation of the joint itself, it can not cope, and in some cases leads to complications. Therefore, those who have pronounced painful cones on their feet, treatment with folk remedies will not help. And for recovery they should contact the clinic.

Each of the presented methods has both advantages and disadvantages. And only as a result of a number of complex and lengthy operations is it possible to get rid of the problem. Therefore, one should never forget that the best treatment of cones on the legs is the timely prevention of their occurrence. To do this, you must follow several rules:

• Wear only comfortable shoes;
• To hold daily sessions of massage and gymnastics for feet;
• If you have a problem, contact your orthopedic doctor right away.
