What Causes

Bunions

A bunion is a bony lump at the base of the big toe, which is forced to angle inwards. While there is a strong genetic link related to faulty foot structure, the condition is often aggravated by years of wearing tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes that cramp the forefoot.

Symptoms

The most obvious sign is the bump on the side of your foot, which can become red, swollen, and painful. This pressure can cause the big toe joint to become stiff and may lead to corns or calluses developing where the toes rub against each other or your shoes.

Treatment

Conservative care focuses on relieving pressure and pain. This includes switching to shoes with a wide toe box, using protective padding, and icing the joint. A podiatrist can help manage the condition with custom orthotics to improve foot mechanics, and in severe cases, may discuss a referral for surgery.
