Bunions can be painful and often make daily activities such as walking, running and even wearing shoes very uncomfortable. When pain accompanies bunions it can become hard to find joy in daily activities and tasks. Many times the only way to reduce pain and discomfort from a bunion is to visit a Los Angeles podiatrist, or podiatrist near you, and talk about treatment options. When the joint of your big toe is forced in the opposite direction it pushes against the other toes and creates an abnormal, bony bump to form at the base of the big toe. This position causes the joint to be enlarged and can become very painful. There are numerous reasons bunions can occur. The most common cause of bunions is wearing shoes that do not fit correctly. Shoes that are too tight or too small can push the toes against each other and can lead to bunions or bunionettes. Bunionettes occur on the outer side of the foot on the joint of the fifth toe. Bunions may be an inherited defect. Stress and medical conditions may also be the cause of bunions. Treatment options depend upon the severity of the bunion. A Los Angeles podiatrist or local podiatrist can help you know which options are best for you. If nonsurgical treatment options do not relieve pain and pressure it may be best to consider surgical options. Visiting a podiatrist is the best way to know how severe your bunion is and which treatment options will benefit you most. Wearing properly fitting shoes and comfortable shoe inserts can relieve pain and pressure; however, when the pain becomes too much it is time to call your podiatrist and get you bunion examined.
