Prevention

Is there any way to prevent a Bunion? I will do my best to give you a short and concise answer.

 

Since most of the affected people do have a genetic predisposition for developing a Bunion, there is not much you can do to prevent it. Yet there are some ways of delaying or weakening it. In general, you should pay attention to first symptoms or determinants like rheumatism or arthrosis and have them treated medically as early as possible. On action prevention is to forgo wearing rather tight and pointy shoes because they exert pressure on the foot, weaken the muscles and cause an unnatural gait pattern. Learn more about these circumstances at the page “Causes”. Frequent barefoot walking relaxes the muscles. In addition, one could engage in gymnastic exercises. When there is a well proceeded deformity already, painful symptoms can be eased by wearing special orthopedic splints. But please consider that these methods are only able to ease the pain and help walking. An entire correction, thus cure of the bone deformity is only possible by involving surgery. Therefore you should by all means seek for medical advice.
