What is a bunion?

Bunions are best described as the formation of a bone at the base of the foot that can disrupt proper foot alignment. This often results in the big toe turning inward towards the other toes on the foot. The bump that develops on the bottom of the big toe and along the side is called a bunion.

Who is at risk of developing bunions?

There are a few situations that may occur in which a patient will be at a higher risk of developing bunions. Bunions can develop:

  • In females who regularly wear tight shoes or high heels
  • In adults who have existing foot deformities
  • In those who have been diagnosed with arthritis
  • In patients who have one leg longer than another
  • In patients who have a family history of bunions or arthritis

How do I address bunions to reduce pain?

For most patients, changes to their shoes and lifestyle can reduce bunion pain and discomfort, including investing in wider shoes or special bunion pads and shoe inserts. For some patients, severe bunions may benefit from surgical intervention to shave them down and realign the big toe with a pin or screw.
