Some Important Facts About Bunions You Should Know

What are Bunions?


A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint of your big toe. Mostly it occurs when some of your bones in the front part of your foot move out of their original place. It basically formed when the big

 toe pushes against the next toe.


Painful bunions interfere while walking and running, but you can keep them from getting worse.

 



Why Bunions Need Attention?


Bunions basically develop on the big toe and can damage the other fingers of your foot. With these, you can suffer from many serious problems like corns, calluses, hammertoes or ingrown toenails, etc. If you put all of your weight on your painful big toe joint, then you may develop discomfort in the ball of your foot.

Due to this, your joint becomes painful, and it becomes difficult to fit your shoes. 


Some Causes of Bunions


Bunions occur because of faulty foot structure, which might be inherited or due to any severe injury. Podiatrists or experts believe that shoes that don’t fit properly cause bunions. 


Let us have a Look at a Few Reasons that Cause Bunions - 


  • If you are wearing poorly fitting shoes then it causes bunions

  • If you are wearing shoes with high heels or pointed toes then you are at high risk of bunions

  • If you are suffering from any disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, or a neuromuscular condition, then you are suffering from bunions

  • If you are standing for long periods of time then might suffer from bunions

  • If you have any arthritis symptoms in your feet then you are also suffering from bunions



When to Visit a Podiatrist for Bunions:


  If you are suffering from 

  • Excessive pain and tenderness in your foot

  • Redness and itching in your feet

  • If your skin becomes hardened at the bottom of the foot

  • If you are not able to move or run

  • Restricted movement of your big toe 

  • Corn and calluses develop on your foot


If you are suffering from any of the above symptoms then a visit to a podiatrist is very important. If you want to get treatment from Dr. Neil S.Zweibel one of the best Bunions Specialists in Manhattan
