What are Bunions?

A bunion (also known by the technical term “hallux valgus”) can be a frustrating and painful condition. It develops when the big toe starts to angle toward the second toe, creating a noticeable bump at the base of the toe. Over time, this structural shift in the foot can bring discomfort, swelling, and even difficulty finding shoes that fit well. Bunions often progress gradually, and they’re particularly common among women and seniors due to a mix of genetic factors, footwear choices, and previous foot injuries.

Common Causes of Bunions

Bunions develop gradually, often due to a combination of genetics and lifestyle factors. If bunions run in your family, you may be more susceptible to developing them, especially if you have inherited certain foot shapes or structures. Genetics can influence the way your feet handle pressure and alignment, making some individuals more prone to bunions.

Environmental factors, such as tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes, can also contribute to bunions. Over time, pressure on the big toe joint can push it inward toward the second toe, creating the hallmark bump and symptoms associated with bunions. We understand these factors and can help you get relief when you book an appointment for bunion treatment today.

When to See a Doctor About Your Bunion

Recognizing bunion symptoms early can help you explore treatment options that may prevent worsening pain. Here are common signs of bunions and factors that may indicate a need for treatment:

  • Visible bump at the base of the big toe
  • Pain or tenderness around the bunion area
  • Swelling and redness near the big toe joint
  • Difficulty finding shoes that fit comfortably
  • Decreased range of motion in the big toe

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, our team at StrideCare can help. Whether you’re looking for non-surgical solutions or want to learn more about surgery for bunions, we’ll provide the care you need to address your pain and restore function.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bunions

A bunion appears as a prominent bump on the outside of the big toe joint. It’s often red or swollen, especially after wearing tight or restrictive shoes.
Many patients find relief through non-surgical options such as orthotics, padding, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy. These treatments can help reduce pressure on the bunion and improve comfort.
Bunion surgery may be recommended if pain persists despite conservative treatments or if the bunion is affecting your quality of life. Surgery aims to realign the toe and remove the bunion, providing long-term relief and improved foot function.
Bunions are more common in women and seniors, often due to genetics, foot structure, or wearing tight or high-heeled shoes. Individuals with family members who have bunions may also be at higher risk, as certain foot shapes and mechanics can be inherited.
