Bunion treatment options depend on the severity of the condition and the level of discomfort.Here are 5 effective bunion treatment options you should know about.
1. Wearing Proper Footwear - Choose wide-toe box shoes that don’t squeeze your toes. Avoid high heels and pointed shoes that put pressure on the bunion. Use padded shoe inserts to reduce discomfort.
2. Bunion Splints and Toe Spacers - Helps realign the big toe gradually. Provides relief by reducing pressure on the affected area.Often used at night for correction over time.
3. Anti-Inflammatory Medications & Ice Therapy - Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen can help reduce pain and swelling.Applying ice packs for 15-20 minutes at a time can ease inflammation.
4. Physical Therapy & Exercises - Toe stretches and foot strengthening exercises improve flexibility. Massage and mobility exercises can help slow bunion progression.
5. Surgery for Severe Cases - If conservative treatments fail, bunion surgery (bunionectomy) may be needed. Surgical options include realigning the bone, joint fusion, or removing swollen tissue.
