Product Description
What is Bunion?
Bunion (also known as hallux valgus) is a bump on the side of the big toe. A bunion, however, is more than just a visible bump; it actually reflects changes in the bony framework of the front part of the foot. In contrast to pointing straight ahead, the big toe leans toward the second toe. As a result, the bones are thrown out of alignment, resulting in a bunion bump.
The condition of bunions is progressive. It begins with a leaning of the big toe, gradually changing the angle of the bones over time and eventually producing the characteristic bump.
What Causes a Bunion?
In most cases, bunions are caused by an inherited mechanical defect in the foot. A person is not inherited with a bunion, but with certain foot types that make them more likely to develop one.
Despite the fact that wearing shoes that crowd the toes will not cause bunions, it can sometimes make the deformity worse.
The Symptoms of Bunions
A bunion may cause the following symptoms:
- Pain or soreness
- Inflammation and redness
- A burning sensation
- Possible numbness
The symptoms are most common when wearing shoes with a narrow toe box or high heels. Perhaps this explains why women are more likely to experience symptoms than men. Bunions can also be aggravated by spending a lot of time on your feet.
Treatment without surgery
A bunion can sometimes be treated simply by observing it.
Bunions can be treated with early treatments, but they won't change the deformity itself. These include:
- Changes in shoe wear. It is very important to wear the right kind of shoes. To avoid aggravating the condition, choose shoes with a wide toe box instead of pointed toes or high heels.
- Padding. Pain can be minimized by placing pads over the bunion area. Our bunion corrector comes with two pairs of padding to protect your toes.
- Activity modifications. Avoid activities that cause bunion pain, such as standing for long periods of time.
- Medications. Pain and inflammation may be reduced with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen.
- Icing. Inflammation and pain can be reduced by applying an ice pack several times a day.
- Orthotic devices. Our bunion corrector protects and gently realigns the toe while relieving discomfort and pain caused by bunions, hallux valgus, and crooked toes.
