BUNIONS...WHAT ARE THEY?
Bunions, also known as hallux valgus, are one of the most common foot pain issues impacting the toes and can be one of the most painful.
Typically, Bunions begin gradually as a dull, intermittent pain in the big toe joint and if left untreated progress to misalignments and foot deformities . Still, others notice it as pain in your small toe. For many it can be the result of poorly fitting shoes or genetics or medical conditions. All of these could attribute to the formation of bunions. Bunions can flare up as a result of walking, running, standing, or other physical activity, especially if you have increased one of may of these.
- Do you have a bump forming on the outside of the base of your big toe?
- Do you have swelling, redness or soreness around your big toe joint?
- Do you have limited movement of your big toe?
- Has your doctor diagnosed you with the foot condition bunions?
- Are you looking for ways to relieve that foot pain before surgery is the only option for correcting them?
What ARE BUNIONS?
Bunions are a Common Toe Ailment
Bunions or hallux valgus are one of the most commonly diagnosed foot ailments. Curious about what is a bunion? A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the joint of your big toe. Without proper foot care, bunions can lead to surgery being the only treatment. There are also beliefs that bunions are genetic. Our team covers causes of bunions, discusses the belief about genetics and several foot care solutions in a recent bunion blog.
What ARE BUNIONetteS?
Bunionettes are a Common Little Toe Ailment
Bunionettes are also something to be aware of. Bunionettes are smaller and tend to form on the outside of the foot along the base of the pinky toe instead of the big toe. Also called a tailor's bunion, it is a painful lump that is usually swollen. Wearing shoes that do not properly fit or are too tight can cause them. Comfortably fitting shoes with spacious toes and soft uppers are recommended. If the area becomes severely deformed or the pain is significant, then surgery might be considered.
What Causes Bunions & Bunionettes?
Bunion Causes
According to the Mayo Clinic, hallux valgus or a bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe. It occurs when some of the bones in the front part of your foot move out of place. Similarly, the same bony bump can form on the outside of your foot at the base of your little toe and those are called bunionettes. Both of these can cause you to experience foot pain and both can lead to the need for potential surgery to correct if you are not regularly providing proper foot care. Bunions and bunionettes are debated as to whether these are genetic foot issues or if they are caused by your footwear or something else.
Our team shares some of the signs that a bunion or bunionette is forming, what you can do and more in this recent blog post on a forming bunion.

Best Foot Care Treatments For Bunions
Bunion Treatment & Foot Alignment Correction
Your shoes can be one of the biggest culprits when it comes to bunions. There is no one size fits all shoe that works for every person. We often see that the shoes you wear could be the cause of your foot pain. Couple that with poor foot care and you could be looking at surgery as your only treatment.
There are many factors that go into selecting the best shoe for foot pain. The best shoe for foot pain may be a combination of shoe and orthotics. It may be a low-heeled shoe instead of those high heels and stilettos. It could be a shoe with a deeper toe box which gives your toes more room inside your shoe. We recommend consulting with a specialty shoe shop or your doctor for shoes tailored to your specific foot needs.
Foot Alignment Socks & Night Splints

I was amazed how well these socks worked! I have bunions and my husband has terribly painful hammertoes. I bought us each a pair. I started wearing mine first to see if they really worked. My bunion does not hurt all the time but when that nerve gets pinched I slip on my Happy Feet socks and voila it's like a miracle.
THEY ARE GREAT

For work I am often on my feet 12-14 hours a day. I had foot surgery 20 years ago and my feet have been hurting off and on since. I use these every night when I get in bed. I keep them on for 20-30 minutes and I can feel the relief. I would definitely buy again.
