Some statistics for you about bunions:

  • 1 out of 3 over the age of 65 years old have a bunion to some degree (National Institutes of Health)
  • The medical term is “Hallux Valgus” and literally means the big toe is pointing inward
  • The only way to “fix” a bunion is to have surgery

Tips and tricks to remember:

  • Limit or eliminate the use of tight or pointed toe shoes, especially high heels
  • Get fitted for proper shoes for exercise and for work – often time many dress shoes can and will accommodate for a shoe insert
  • Keep your feet happy and strong – consult a PT for help!!

Hope this helps everyone! Send me a message to request an appointment if you find yourself still struggling on your own!
