A member asked:
I have metatarsalgia, bunion, flat feet and unstable ankle. i'm looking for a brace/support for all of them (all in one) is there such a thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately not : Hallux valgus or "bunion" cannot be treated effectively with a brace, but with modified shoe wear. Unstable ankles can benefit from a lace up style brace provided you don't have any anatomic abnormalities predisposing to your instability
