Bunion is a painful foot condition caused by an abnormal protrusion of the big toe joint. Non-surgical treatments include wearing wider shoes, anti-inflammatory medication, injections, ice therapy, ultrasound therapy, and bunion pads. If non-surgical treatments are ineffective, surgery (bunionectomy) may be required to detach the anomalous extension and realign the bones. Post-surgery, the patient must follow recovery measures prescribed by the surgeon such as using supportive footwear.
