Mobilization vs sham for hallux valgus pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares the immediate effects of two types of manual therapy (mobilization and manipulation) versus a sham (fake) procedure on foot pressure in people with hallux valgus (bunions). It may help understand if these hands-on treatments can improve how you walk.
