Hallux valgus
Noticing a bump forming at the base of your big toe? Feeling pressure, stiffness, or your toe slowly shifting out of place?
The Basics of Bunions
Bunions are bony bumps that form at the base of the big toe, causing it
to angle towards the second toe. This misalignment creates a protrusion
on the side of the foot, leading to pain and difficulty with footwear.
They develop gradually due to factors like genetics, improper footwear,
and abnormal foot mechanics, often causing inflammation and discomfort that necessitates proper treatment.
Common Causes of Bunions
Bunions often arise from a mix of genetics, tight shoes, and foot mechanics.
They’re common in those with flat feet or high arches and can be worsened by high heels or narrow shoes. Repetitive stress from activities like running or dancing also increases the risk.
Addressing these factors early can help manage or prevent bunions.
