No More Foot Pain

Bunion pain can be a frustrating and uncomfortable condition, often caused by an abnormal bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe. This deformity occurs when the toe pushes against the other toes, leading to swelling, redness, and pain. Wearing tight or ill-fitting shoes is a common culprit, but bunions can also be influenced by genetics, arthritis, or abnormal foot mechanics.

The pain can range from mild discomfort to severe, especially when walking or standing for long periods. Non-surgical treatments are often effective, such as wearing comfortable, wide-toed shoes, using padded inserts, or applying ice to reduce swelling. Over-the-counter pain relievers and custom orthotics may also provide relief.

In more advanced cases, surgery may be necessary to correct the alignment of the toe. If you experience persistent bunion pain, it’s important to consult Houston’s Foot Doc Sherman Nagler to explore treatment options and prevent further complications.
