Toe Spacers (Toe Separators)

Closing the web spaces between the toes can be caused by conditions such as bunions or Tailor’s Bunions. These conditions can result in secondary injuries such as capsulitis, Morton’s Neuroma and Metatarsalgia. Effective forms of treatment for these conditions involve strengthening and mobility exercises, insoles, and appropriate foot and toe spacers.

Conditions causing forefoot pain are prominent among runners, dancers and those who wear high heels. Toe spacers can provide pain relief and should be worn at rest rather than during activity as they alter foot biomechanics.

We recommend to our patients that Toe Spacers are part of the puzzle for foot pain and not the solution. We have articles on nearly every type of foot condition explaining the causes and symptoms, with associated articles offering solutions to your pain. Please take the time to explore; hopefully, you will find some helpful information.
