Bunion Aid by Alpha Orthotics is a plastic splint that can be worn during the day or at night for hallux valgus correction. Featuring Velcro-fastening metatarsal and toe straps, Bunion Aid provides three-point correction of the deformity throughout the gait cycle. The splint works to relieve pain associated with bunions by stabilizing the metatarsal arch, correcting the malpositioning of the toes, and bringing the foot back into its natural position. The splint is available through select retailers and podiatrists or it can be ordered through the Alpha Orthotics online store. Alpha Orthotics. 415/389-8980. Website: www.alphaorthotics.com.
