What Are Bunions?
Bunions are bony bumps that occur at the joint on the base of the big toe due to genetics, flat feet, or wearing shoes that are too tight. Often bunions cause the big toe to bend inward, squeezing the toes together. This can cause pain, swelling and/or irritation. Without bunion treatment, bunions may affect other toes and cause further complications.
What Kind of Options Are Available for Bunion Treatment?
Though bunion treatments cannot cure or remove bunions, they can help alleviate the pain and pressure caused by them. There are a variety of options available for bunion treatment. In most cases, bunion relief may be found in home treatments such as:
- Over-the-counter pain relievers
- Comfortable shoes
- Bunion shields
- Shoe inserts
- Toe spreaders
- Avoiding activities that put pressure on the foot
If bunion relief is not found in any of these treatments, discuss the possibility of bunion removal surgery with your doctor.
How Can Therawear's Bunion Treatment Products Help?
Therawear's bunion treatment products are designed to help relieve pain and pressure caused by the bunion. If the bunion rubs against your shoes, it can be very uncomfortable. In this case, bunion relief may be found in shields or gel cushioning that protects the bunion. If the bunion causes the big toe to point inward, toe spreaders or splints may help with bunion relief by separating your toes and reducing the pressure between them.
Our bunion treatment products fit comfortably in most shoes so you can go about your daily business. We recommend that you avoid wearing high heels or narrow-toed shoes as these can aggravate the bunion. Wearing comfortably fitting shoes along with Therawear's bunion treatment products can help lead to significant bunion relief.
