Effectiveness & Lifestyle Impact |
No Pain, No Recovery Time
Relivio: Gentle, non-invasive therapy you can do at home — no downtime, no incisions.
Surgery: Requires anesthesia, stitches, and a painful 6–12 week recovery period (often on crutches or in a boot).
Safe & Low Risk
Relivio: Zero medical risk — no infections, no nerve damage, no post-surgical complications.
Surgery: Carries significant risks like stiffness, infection, scarring, or even failed correction requiring reoperation.
Affordable & Accessible
Relivio: One-time purchase under $50–$100, no doctor visits, no insurance hassle.
Surgery: Costs $4,000–$12,000+ (even with insurance), plus post-op therapy, medications, and time off work.
Real Relief — Without Compromise
Relivio: Helps reduce pain, correct toe positioning over time, and slow bunion progression — naturally.
Surgery: Can provide permanent correction, but often leads to scar tissue, stiffness, or new foot issues later on.
