Bunion treatment can range from conservative (non-surgical) methods to surgical correction, depending on the severity of the bunion and your symptoms.Here are the 5 best bunion treatments you need to know — ranging from conservative care to surgical options, depending on the severity of the condition:
1. Proper Footwear and Orthotics - Wearing shoes with a wide toe box, low heels, and good arch support can relieve pressure on the bunion.Avoid tight, narrow, or pointed shoes.
2. Bunion Pads and Toe Spacers - Over-the-counter gel pads, toe separators, and bunion cushions reduce pressure and friction.They help relieve discomfort during daily activities.
3. Physical Therapy and Exercises - Stretching exercises (e.g., toe stretches, towel scrunches) and foot strengthening can reduce pain and improve mobility.Helps maintain joint function and foot alignment.
4. Medications and Cold Therapy - NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen reduce swelling and pain.Ice packs applied for 15–20 minutes several times a day can reduce inflammation naturally.
5. Bunion Surgery (Bunionectomy) - Surgical options realign the toe and remove bony bumps.Modern procedures like minimally invasive bunion surgery offer quicker recovery and less scarring.Recommended when bunions interfere with daily life.
