Bunions


Bunions are caused by your big toe joints becoming incorrectly aligned. This causes the first joint on your big toe to slant outward and the second joint then angles toward your other toes. Your joints then begin to swell. It causes a bump of bone on the foot that can become very painful if left untreated. Orthotics can help realign the foot and give the patient relief from the symptoms of bunions. This conservative treatment may even prevent the need for corrective surgery.
