Wear as little high heels and pointed shoes as possible.
Use bunion-specific foot orthoses for best protection.
Try silicon toe spreader or night splint but their effectiveness is not
known.
Physiotherapist instructed foot and toe exercises.
2. If I have a family history of bunion condition, what is the chance of me
developing it?
Genes play a strong role in majority bunion patients. You may have
inherited bunion genes but their effects are random and there is no statistics
yet of their expression among family members. Female hormones (estrogen) can
also compound the risk greatly and tilt the gender-balance to 9 times more common
among female than male.
3. When may I need to start considering surgical treatment?
Usually when conservative measures fail to control bunion related pain in
the foot, leg or low back and the pain begins to interfere with daily
activities. To prevent the development of arthritis of the affected big toe
joint, surgery should be considered for severe bunion deformity in a relatively
young and active person.
