The 'Re-Loub' Injection - JAWS podiatry

The ‘Re-Loub’ Injection

Women continue to experience pain in the great toe joint, a condition referred to as hallux limitus as a result of the use of high-heeled shoes.

The ‘Re-Loub’ injection is for patients who have painful arthritis in the first joint of the big toe and can’t move it up and down as a result of joint disease.

To help increase flexibility and reduce the pain, we inject hyaluronic acid into the joint to help lubricate it. This is done under ultrasound guidance. The hyaluronic acid, which is a natural occurring material in the body and in the joint (often deficient in arthritis), lasts up to a year at which point you need to get another injection.

Although this treatment needs to be repeated, it can help you avoid surgery or at least put it off until you’re ready for it. The pain-reducing effects can last up to six months.

  JAWS Podiatry is exceptional at what they do and who they are. They truly care about the whole person, the individual and not just the symptoms that present in the 'crisis' of 'needing' a podiatrist. That's what separates them from the masses. They distinguish themselves by exceeding expectations. Don't hesitate to take a close look at them when you need a "foot and ankle" specialist.

  Dr. Wagner was very friendly and responsive to my concerns regarding my eight year old. Thoroughly explained options and recommendations. Most noteworthy (to me) was how he paid attention to my sons walk as we were leaving- enough to notice that it was different than in evaluation, which could require a different treatment plan. It’s nice to find a doctor that is honest and thorough and attentive. He is also great with the kids! We will be back.
