BUNIONS RELIEF

BUNIONS...WHAT ARE THEY?

A bunion (hallux valgus) is a bony bump that develops on the joint at the base of your big toe. Initially, it might cause a dull ache or stiffness, but over time—if untreated—it can lead to realignment issues and foot deformities. Often worsened by tight or poorly fitting footwear, bunions may arise due to genetics, medical conditions, or repeated stress on the feet.

Signs to Watch For:

  • A noticeable bump forming on the outside of the base of your big toe? 
  • Swelling, redness or soreness around your big toe joint?
  • Reduced flexibility or discomfort when wearing footware?
  • Has your doctor diagnosed you with the foot condition bunions? 
  • Interested in relieving discomfort before resorting to surgery?

WHAT ARE BUNIONETTES?

BUNIONETTES ARE A COMMON LITTLE TOE AILMENT

Also called a tailor's bunion, Bunionettes are also something to be aware of. Bunionettes are smaller and tend to form on the outside of the foot along the base of the pinky toe instead of the big toe. They are a painful lump that is usually swollen.

Wearing shoes that do not properly fit or are too tight can cause them. Comfortably fitting shoes with spacious toes and soft uppers are recommended. If the area becomes severely deformed or the pain is significant, then surgery might be considered.

Are your shoes causing your bunions?

Causes & Prevention

According to the Mayo Clinic, bunions form when bones at the front of your foot shift out of alignment, pressing your big toe inward. A similar misalignment can result in bunionettes. While genetics can play a role, poor footwear choices are a common trigger.
