bunions Toenails: Quick Facts
Understanding the Condition
The main cause of bunions is instability in the big toe joint, which alters the alignment of surrounding structures.
Contributing factors include:
- Poor foot mechanics and abnormal walking patterns.
- Flat feet (over-pronation).
- Excessively flexible joints.
- Rheumatoid arthritis.
Our Conservative Treatment Approach
While surgery is sometimes necessary in severe cases, our focus is on non-surgical treatments to relieve pain, slow progression, and prevent complications.
We work to:
- Identify the underlying cause with a thorough biomechanical assessment.
- Provide conservative treatments to relieve pain and slow progression.
- Prevent further complications such as arthritis or worsening deformity.
Non-surgical treatments may include:
- Custom orthotics to improve foot mechanics.
- Footwear advice and shoe modifications.
- Padding to reduce friction and pressure on the joint.
- Strengthening and stretching exercises to support the joint.
