Age is a major factor that leads to degeneration of muscles and bones of the body. The muscles lose their elasticity and are unable to support several daily activities, causing intense pain and discomfort. The synovial liquid between the joints that maintain flexibility recedes and makes every movement a nightmare.

Joint is one of the most obvious parts of our body which ages with an increase in the number of candles on our birthday cakes. As you age, joints tend to become stiffer and less flexible.

You can wear Hammer toe brace to prevent the big toe deformity. It is called hammer toe and if you do not correct it might cause the body weight to shift the center of gravity and you will end up with either back pain or knee pain. Better advice would be to consult a therapist and you can start using it and you have to wear shoe on top of that to fix it in position. Initially you can wear for 4 hours and slowly you can improve wearing until 6-8 hours.
