Bunion Pain

Bunion’s are a fairly common foot deformity at the base of the big toe joint (the 1 st metatarsal-phalangeal joint). The cause of bunions and their associated pain are many, but underlying almost every bunion is a hypermobile 1 st ray that will cause abnormal forces on this joint. A foot that over-pronates or flattens out greatly can also lead to the development of a bunion. Though high-heeled shoes and shoes that are tight in the toebox often get the blame as the exclusive cause of a bunion, this is not accurate, although, bad shoe choices can certainly make a bunion and its pain much worse.

Many people with a bunion will seek help with the goal of preventing it from getting worse. Shoe gear and especially orthotics can make a huge improvement in relieving pain and improving mobility, but also, preventing the bunion from getting significantly worse.
