Q: What are bunions?

Also known as hallux vagus, bunions arebony growths that form on the joint at the base of your big toe, causing your big toe to angle inward towards your smaller toes. This deformity can at times be red and painful, disrupting daily life.

Q: How to fix bunions?

Some bunion treatment options include wearing shoes with wide toe boxes, using orthotics, and icing the affected toe. Making use of bunion pads and using medical tape to keep your toes in the correct position can also help.

Q: Can you correct a bunion without surgery?

While pain management and prevention are good bunion self-care practices, you unfortunately can’t get rid of bunions without surgery. Surgery is the only method of permanently correcting the deformity by realigning the bone structure.

When extra pressure is placed on the joint of your big toe over a long period of time, the joint can be pushed out of its natural alignment, forming a bunion as your body compensates for your toe being pushed out of its natural position. Bunions are believed to be caused by a combination of factors, such as genetics, poor foot mechanics, and lifestyle. Wearing narrow shoes that cramp your toes can also lead to the formation of bunions.

Bunions can be prevented by wearing comfortable and appropriate footwear that have wide toe boxes, providing your toes with ample room to spread out naturally. You can also strengthen your toe muscles by exercising your feet. Additionally, avoiding high heels, using shoe inserts and orthotics, and maintaining a healthy weight can help prevent bunions from forming on your feet.
