Bunions are a common foot deformity that can cause significant pain and discomfort. They occur when the big toe shifts toward the other toes, creating a bony bump on the side of the foot. While bunions can worsen over time, early treatment can often prevent the need for surgery.
At Active Recovery’s Foot Clinic, we offer a range of non-surgical treatments for bunions. Our chiropodists assess the severity of your bunion and develop a personalized treatment plan to relieve pain and slow the progression of the deformity.
One of the most effective treatments for bunions is custom orthotics. These shoe inserts provide support and redistribute pressure away from the bunion, reducing pain and preventing further damage. Our Chiropody Courtice clinic offers custom orthotics tailored to your specific needs.
In addition to orthotics, we recommend footwear changes to alleviate pressure on the bunion. Shoes with a wide toe box and proper arch support can make a significant difference in your comfort. At our Chiropody Oshawa clinic, we provide expert advice on selecting the right shoes for your foot structure.
Exercises are another key component of bunion treatment. Strengthening the muscles in your feet and improving flexibility can help slow the progression of the bunion and reduce pain. Our chiropodists will guide you through specific exercises designed to target the affected area.
If left untreated, bunions can worsen and lead to more severe pain and deformity. In some cases, surgery may be required to correct the issue. However, with early intervention and proper care, many people are able to manage their bunion pain without the need for surgery.
