What are Bunions?

It is a deformity of the big toe area of the foot including a bump on the inside or medial side of the foot, just behind the big toe on the first metatarsal head with a corresponding angulation of the big toe toward the second toe. Bunions are also called hallux valgus.

Symptoms of Bunions: 

Many people do not experience symptoms in the early stages of bunion formation. Symptoms are often most noticeable when the bunion gets worse and with certain types of footwear. These include shoes that crowd the toes/or high-heeled shoes. When symptoms do occur, they may include: 

- Physical discomfort or pain
- A burning feeling
- Redness and swelling
- Possible numbness
- Difficulty walking
