A bunion, a deformity of the big toe, can be painful and worsen over time. In addition to pain, it can cause difficulty walking.
But how is it actually created?
-> It is generally believed that bunions are genetic.
They occur due to a defective foot structure that is inherited.
-> also flat feet and excessively flexible ligaments can increase the development of bunion.
-> Shoes that are too tight or have high heels are not causally to blame for the development, but they can certainly exacerbate an existing problem.
But there is good news:
A bunion is treatable. Often with conservative methods. In worse cases, surgery is necessary, but also promises high success.
If you are suffering from the pain of a bunion, you are welcome to make an appointment with us for conservative treatment.
