How to Avoid Getting Bunions

How to Avoid Getting Bunions
2

• Most people who have bunions have a hereditary
  genetic condition called overpronation. This
  means that when you're standing or walking, your
  feet have a tendency to roll inward toward the
  big toe joint. Over time, the toe joint deforms,
  causing a bunion.

3

• While both men and women can develop bunions,
  women develop them more often because of their
  choice in footwear

4

• Even flip-flops and ballet flats can cause
  bunions. Any shoe without proper support for your
  feet can cause them to roll inward.

5

• Most people have mild signs of bunions before
  they notice any discomfort. Foot problems can be
  treated easily if they are identified early .
  So make an appointment with a bunion specialist.

6

• Wear shoes with lots of toe room.

7

• Go barefoot. Ditch your shoes whenever you can.
  Develop a household habit of removing shoes. Walk
  around the park on grass in your bare feet for 20
  minutes a day.

8

• Insert orthopedic padding in your shoes when
  necessary to make each pair of shoes you wear on
  a daily basis as comfortable, supportive, and as
  forgiving as possible.
• Cushioned sports socks, bunion pads and cushions
  can also help, but make sure you buy larger sized
  shoes to make room for such padding rather than
  allow your shoes to get crowded and
  uncomfortable, conditions that cause bunions in
  the first place.

9

• Incorporate food massages, foot soaks, and other
  foot therapies that relieve foot pressure and
  keep the muscles, ligaments and joints in your
  feet flexible and soft.
