The patch for the bunion on the big toe is used as part of complex therapy. Different types of it are produced in different countries and differ in quality, mechanism of action, and price.
The patch for foot bumps, made in China, is a modern remedy that combines the therapeutic properties of plants in homeopathic dosages and the effect of a magnetic field. Their simultaneous effect removes signs of inflammation, enhances microcirculation in damaged tissues, and normalizes their condition. In the case of large bones, when only surgical treatment will help, the patch is prescribed as a symptomatic remedy for pain relief and reduction of discomfort.
Is it possible to get rid of a bunion without surgery?
With pronounced changes in the first metatarsophalangeal joint of the leg, conservative treatment is ineffective in many cases. It is not possible to cure severe changes in stages 3 and 4 of the disease, when organic restructuring has occurred in the bones and cartilage, with medications and physiotherapeutic methods: surgery is required. Radical treatment completely restores the function of the joint. But the rehabilitation period after the operation is long and difficult: the recovery time takes several months, during which the patient is in a cast and is forbidden to step on his leg.
With advanced changes, the use of a patch does not lead to the desired result: the deformation on the foot does not disappear during long-term treatment. Therefore, it is not an alternative method to surgery or laser.
Using the patch can achieve a positive effect only in the initial stage of pathological changes. In addition to reducing clinical symptoms, it has a preventive effect: it stops the development of pathology and, according to the creators, prevents its occurrence if there is a predisposition to the appearance of valgus. The simultaneous use of various therapeutic procedures enhances the local effect of the patch and improves the therapeutic effect.
Varieties of Chinese magnetic patches
Wearing an adhesive plaster during the initial manifestations of Hallux valgus is one of the types of non-surgical treatment for this pathology. A lasting clinical effect is observed after several weeks.
Two types of patches are available:
- Therapeutic is a magnetic patch with medicinal herbs.
- A protective one that fixes the joint and prevents its further deformation. With its constant use, the progressive deformation of the bone stops or slows down.
Chinese medicinal plaster is a popular remedy that has been widely used in recent years. It combines modern nanotechnology and ancient recipes of Tibetan monks. The mechanism of action is based on the principle of a static physiotherapeutic system, which in its functions is a patch. With timely use, the pathologically altered joint and muscle fibers are restored without surgery.
The effectiveness of a magnetic patch for bunions is associated with the simultaneous effect of plant components and a constant field created by a magnet on the altered tissues. It is based on a synergistic effect (increased positive action). At the initial stage of the disease, the pathologically altered structures of the joint are restored in the shortest possible time, and the joint stops deforming.
By increasing blood supply, inflammation, swelling, and pain are reduced.
The Chinese development, according to literature sources, has shown good results in clinical studies.
There are many types of patches, differing in their composition. The most popular of them:
- Hyperosteogeny.
- Valguflex.
- Pepper.
- Vita Plast.
- Xinyi Blue 03.
- Guzhenshen Zhentong Gao.
Strengthening the results of using each of them and significantly reducing treatment time occurs due to the simultaneous use of massage, physiotherapeutic methods and exercise therapy.
ValgusFlex
The therapeutic effect of the ValgusFlex patch is based on the properties of ozokerite, which has a warming effect. It is often used in physical therapy as the best conservative treatment for big toe deformities. Ozokerite (mountain wax) is a petroleum refining product, a paraffin-like substance. It has properties successfully used in the treatment of the musculoskeletal system and other pathologies:
- anti-inflammatory;
- painkillers;
- absorbable.
The wax retains heat for a long time and initially warms up well. The patch is attached to the joint with a special elastic band. All components of the treatment layer are natural substances. Upon contact with skin, ozokerite heats up. The existing joint deformation gradually decreases under its influence. The foot takes on a normal appearance. The patient does not experience discomfort when walking, does not feel pain, and can easily choose shoes. ValgusFlex also fights flat feet, eliminating external defects and the causes of disorders.
Efficiency and composition of magnetic patch
The effectiveness of the magnetic patch is ensured by the chemical composition of its impregnation. Main components of the composition:
- saffron extract – has a positive effect on the condition of joints, accelerates tissue regeneration and relieves inflammation:
- dandelion extract – has an anti-inflammatory and healing effect, accelerates local metabolic processes in the area of pathological growth;
- dry mustard extract - provides antibacterial and analgesic effect of the magnetic patch;
- extract of madder - helps to remove salts and alleviate the condition of patients who, in addition to hallux valgus, also have arthritis;
- grapevine extract - due to this component, the strengthening of blood vessels in the area of the foot deformity is achieved, swelling in the area of the growth resolves.
The magnetic effect of the patch on tissue is achieved due to the presence of several nanomagnets. Nanomagnets are capable of simultaneous emission of magnetic and infrared waves. The effectiveness of this patch has been confirmed by clinical trials in laboratories in the USA, China and Western Europe.
By following the instructions for use, you can use it not only to get rid of pain and inflammation, but also to reduce the size of the protruding bone and restore the normal shape of the foot.
