Feet

Once you have bunions, there are a variety of options to help relieve pain, correct the deformity, and improve foot function. Here are some common orthopedic options for bunion treatment:

• Toe separators: These devices are placed between the toes to align them correctly and reduce pressure on the bunion.
• Bunion protectors: These are pads or protectors that are placed over the bunion to reduce friction with the shoe and relieve pain.
• Night correctors: They are used at night to gradually correct the position of the big toe and relieve pressure on the bunion.
• Orthotic insoles: Custom insoles can help better distribute body weight and correct biomechanical problems that may contribute to the development of bunions.
• Orthopedic footwear: Shoes specially designed for feet with bunions usually have wide toe boxes and extra room in the bunion area to reduce pressure on the joint.
• Splints or stabilization devices: In more severe cases, splints or stabilization devices can be used to immobilize the joint and prevent progression of the deformity.
• It is important to consult an orthopedic or podiatric specialist to determine the best treatment option for your specific case and receive professional advice on how to use these devices correctly. In some cases, it may be necessary to combine several treatment approaches to obtain the best results.
