Learn how Compeed® can help with Bunions
Bunions are bony bumps on the side of your foot, just at the joint where your big toe is attached to your foot.
Dealing with bunion pain? You’re not alone. Finding the right strategies for bunion pain relief doesn’t have to involve surgery right away. Introducing foot exercises for bunions into your daily routine can help manage discomfort and improve overall foot health.
Do you ever wonder what’s going on with your feet when you notice a strange bump or hard patch of skin? Many people confuse bunions and corns, and it’s easy to see why—they’re both foot issues that can cause discomfort.
Bunions can be a real pain – both literally and metaphorically. They are bony lumps sticking out from the bottom of your big toe caused by the misalignment of bones, tendons and tissues. This causes the big toe to bend towards the other toes on the foot.
FAQ
Got questions? We’ve got you covered!
Bunions are hard lumps on the big toe joint. They can be incredibly painful
Inward pressure on the toes can lead to bunions, as the toe joint is towards the foot and the joint is pushed outwards. Tight and uncomfortable shoes can also aggravate this condition. Bunions can also be caused by underlying medical conditions, if in doubt consult your doctor.
Surgery is the only permanent cure for bunions. Fortunately, you can minimise friction and rubbing on the hardened area. Compeed® Bunion Plasters cushion the skin to prevent further rubbing, providing relief from pressure and preventing hardened skin.
It may be possible to delay the progression of bunions by taking extra care of your feet. Avoid unnecessary pressure by wearing properly fitting shoes, especially near the joint and toe area. For those occasions where you might wish to wear less comfortable shoes, cushion the area to minimise pressure.
