Let’s talk about how to get rid of bunions. Bunions can become inflamed and tender, affecting your ability to walk and exercise. Bunions can even lead to knee pain or hip pain.
Top causes of bunions:
• Your shoes don’t fit correctly
• You have flat feet
• You have ankle mobility issues
How to get rid of bunions:
1. Get shoes and socks that aren’t too tight around your toes
2. Use silicone toe spreaders
3. Do certain exercises
The best exercises for bunions:
1. Sit in a chair and bring one knee up with your arm. Then, move your foot in a complete circle as if you’re trying to draw a circle with your toes. Do ten rotations clockwise with your right foot, then do ten rotations counterclockwise. Repeat this with your left foot.
2. Place a tennis ball under the mid part of the arch in your foot. Stand on the tennis ball for two minutes and then switch feet. Do this once a day.
3. Sit in a chair and raise your toes up on both feet at the same time. Start with doing this 10 times and work up to doing it 30 times. If you get a cramp, stop. Once you can do this sitting, try doing it standing while balancing yourself against a wall.
4. While sitting in a chair, lift up your toes using your calf muscles. Do this by pushing your toes into the floor and lifting your heels. Do this back and forth, working your way up to 30 repetitions. After you can do this sitting, try doing it standing, balancing yourself using a chair or the wall.
5. While sitting in a chair, rock your ankles back and forth (invert and evert your ankles), working up to doing 30 repetitions. Once you can do this sitting, try it standing.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps explain how to fix bunions. I’ll see you in the next video.
I’ve had bunion on my right foot for about 10 years. Watched this video seems like a year ago or close. Got better fitting shoes and did all the exercises every day and sometimes several times a day. And it was getting better, but today there was a difference. Had a little crack like cracking your knuckles in my foot. No pain whatsoever associated with it. And suddenly my toe is straight, no pain, I can walk straight and fully extend my foot. It’s like a miracle.
Thank you so very much. I’ll continue the exercises for sure.
And I also watch all of your videos and you’ve helped me in so many ways. You’re incredible in how you’re helping others. Thanks again.
Are you for real?
@@khushboosharma6176 I am for real.
You may have broke down the calcium deposits that had formed around the joint. Well done!
Wow thats so cool
How long did u exercise for before u heard the crack
Dancer/Runner here and have had Bunions my whole life. Started wearing a toe spacer for the last 10 years in every shoe I wear and it has gone down at least half the size . It's taken time but worth it! Get a toe spacer that's meant for ballerinas they work the best! DO IT you won't be disappointed. The spacer and stretches together are a life saver for the pain.
I'm thinking of doing the toe spacers. May I ask do you wear them just when you put on shoes or do you also sleep with them?
@@weescotties good question
Where do you get toe spacers...seriously?
Ebay has toe spacers around 5 usd.
F
Thanks a lot, Dr Berg. I do appreciate all your hard work.
My mom's suffering from this, very grateful, thank you, Dr. Berg very much!💓🙏
Lifetime runner (50 years +) and all the info here is golden. I swear by toe socks, toe separators, recovery slides, youtube physio videos plus lots more.

Thanks Doc Eric. This helped me a lot. Working in the medical field for many years and being on my feet a lot, this happened to me. Beard looks awesome!! Thanks for all your compassion and helping us. Blessing always
Dr B you are truly wonderful. I’ve sorted my mental health from IF and keto, now addressing other body issues,
, like my left foot bunion. Thank you very much.
I had stage 4 bunions on both feet before I was 30. I’ve always worn wide, comfortable shoes. I’m not impressed by fashion, I did what made my feet less painful. I’m a medical professional who was on my feet for years, narrowly sitting each shift for minutes. I was also an avid mountain climber, but had to tape my toes before each hike.
Surgery was my only option as both feet were beyond what you describe here. After recovering from surgery, no more pain, or taping needed. I was non-weight bearing for 6-7 weeks.
I’m 66 years old now and by far that was the best decision I’ve made to increase my quality of life.
BTW, I was normal to small in build, ate clean, and always wore the correct shoes for this problem.
I would be curious to see someone with an advanced bunion “cure” it by following your recommendations.
I think most of your videos are helpful, but I’m very skeptical of your opinion in this case.
Respectfully.
Leenie
Imho one might need to look at any muscles that might be causing hip rotation. Ie tight glutes. Muscle imbalances can cause one to walk duck toed which would cause the great toe to be pushed over toward the next toe.
I am a retired medical professional also. First bunion was from a fall. Broke a toe, and chipped metatarsal. 36 years ago and also opposite foot broke little toe 19 years ago. I wear toe spacers and do exercises and have now started massage. No surgeries, and where you drift with large toe, I am not as bad. Will not do surgery for either foot and I am almost 70.
I’ve had bunions for years, wore the wrong shoes when working for so many years, so I am paying the price. There is only very occasional pain that goes away quickly. I’m 73 years old and would never have bunion surgery after hearing the horror stories from at least 4 people I know that had the surgery. Will definitely try Dr. Berg’s exercises.
Ive seen therapist release crooked toes and minimize the size of a bunion in one session. The massages are intense so they looked painful but the toe straightened out
Very interesting! I feel that the major cause of my bunions has been my gait, I am a little bow legged and I walk with my toes pointing outward, not directly under my knees. Your case seems to be an extreme, so maybe surgery was the best option, but I think doing the exercises can only benefit us, regardless of surgery.
Doing the calf raises also really help. I started doing calf raises just as part of my workout routine and noticed my feet/bunions getting back into better shape and wasn't sure why lol now I know
Thanks
Thanks, good to know!
Bunions are typically genetic foot /ankle bone structure mobility of metatarsal and ankle. My grandmother, me, daughter and niece all have it! I had it since 12! It wasn’t from wearing heels and none of us have flat feet😊 !! My daughter developed pre teen as well. I had Lapiplasty at age 57! So glad I did!!
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
I've been having so much difficulty with my right foot bunion and have seen so many other videos with some relief. But I do believe in ur advice & will try these. 💛
Thank you for this,Dr.Berg.God bless you!!!!
Incredible information. Wish you the best Dear Dr. Berg.
Had bunions for over 30 years. In addition to what Dr. Berg said, I get regular deep foot massages and reflexology. Helps immensely. Rarely have bunion pain. Taking magnesium and potassium has helped as well.
Interesting about magnesium & potassium. 🌞
Did your bunions actually go away? I’ve had mine for about 30 years (from wearing shoes that were too small as a kid) but I’ve never thought that I could fix them without painful surgery.
I always thought I would have to have surgery as well. Would love it if I didn’t have to.
Be careful with potassium if you are older than 50 and not doing much exercise that causes swetting.
@@fizoblong9506 Potassium and other electrolytes correctly balanced is extremely helpful especially in high quantity. It's known that a 200lbs healthy man needs 4700mg of potassium throughout the day while the usual man does not get any more than a 1000mg a day of potassium, ect. The usual stress, physical exercises and sickness as well, increase potassium requirements.
Thank you for these tremendous recommendations! Will definitely work on them!🙏🙏🙏
You're most welcome!
Thank you Dr for your advices , they are very helpful 🙏
Unbelievably helpful video.Thank you for the depth of research to help us out!
Thank you. My left foot and leg are a mess. Bunion, Hip bursitis, then last year, I had a ladder accident and broke my knee and heel bone. I've been doing a lot of exercise to try to recover my full range of motion in both the knee and ankle. I will be adding those which you've shown, as they look like they may have multiple benefits.
Dr. Berg, I am a Chiropractor also. I gave up on tennis balls. I much prefer Racket balls for patients. They don’t slide on the floor or walls. They are gentle but effective. When tennis balls slide out or land on the floor, they belong to the dogs. I refer my patients to your Channel. I do appreciate your work! Thanks! Bill Miskelly
Whats a Racket Ball?
@@rosisunny9302 We call it badminton in the uk. You use a shuttlecock not a ball. 🏸❤️
@@pinkfox5651 Different sport. Racket ball uses a rubber ball.
@@pinkfox5651 🙄 The only similarity between racquetball and badminton is that you use a racquet.
Try a Rad ball!
Thank you Dr. Berg you’re so wonderful and helpful. I am going to do this treatment for myself. Thank you so much.
Dr. Berg thanks a lot..for sharing ur knowledge..Highly grateful
Good Morning , Dr.Berg🎑
I sure do appreciate this great health tip , Thank you so sharing this very interesting information with everyone , God bless and Protect all of you !
❤ 4 / 27 / 2022 ❤
Such a useful video.
Great exercises!
Thank you so much
Most welcome! Glad you found it useful!
No bunions, butdifficultbalance and stiff ankles. These are helping. Thanks yet again.
You are amazing Doc! Lots of great information on your site!
My parents have that, now I feel so happy I will let them know there is a fascinating video of you that have hope and out the pain. Thank you so much Dr. Berg.!🙏🏻❤️🌹
I'm so glad that you shared this video because I have been having this problem since childhood probably. I am 20 now, which is quite weird for me to have this problem this young. For some months I have started to feel numbness in the outer part of the toe and at the same time pain inside of the joint. My parents told me ones, that as a child I was a lot of times walking on my toes, so I don't know if this could affect me in some way, because I don't know anything about the points you made. Also for most of my life I couldn't even made the right squat without going deep and not pushing my back too forward. So at certain point I also have shortened calf muscles and the fact with not proper stability while exercising is so horrifying true. I recently started going to gym so am working on proper body posture. I am very thankful Dr. Berg for all of this advices and exercises. I will put it into my routine.
This is such helpful information.Thank you so much!
Always, Always something interesting you talk about. Love the diversity.
This is exactly one big toe I’m straggling with, so painful also! And thanks for sharing with us Dr.
Your content... Is seriously amazing!!
THE BEST!!!
Thank you for your kind and positive comment!
Thank you for all the information you give to improve our health, I like this kin of videos and diversity not only IF or keto. This video is very helpful
Thank you so much for all these important instructions
Boy I wish I would've known this before my bunion surgery about 20 years ago....it was a DISASTER and I've have repercussions ever since! Thanks Dr. Berg! I do A LOT of these exercises but my whole body has suffered from this surgery. I hope no one gets bunion surgery!!!
I just got mine done 2 months ago, I’m slowly recovering, I could run a bit yesterday, haha. Can I ask what repercussions you have?
I had both bunions removed 25 years ago and after a year, the right one grew back! I'm getting a sore ankle now that cracks regularly. I'm doing these exercises Dr Berg gave us. God bless him for his informative videos.🙏
They have improved the surgery.
I had one bunion removed 23 years ago and luckily the surgery worked. Bunion never came back! However, my leg muscles are uneven looking now as the muscles in my leg with the surgery atrophied a lot. Never got it back all the way. Still think it was worth it.
@@Sleepy_Crabe My bunion is now HUGE. The foot without the surgery looks normal. The doctor told me if I had the bunion surgery my big toe of the left foot wouldn't slant toward the other toes. Well it does now, quite a bit. Throws off my other toes. Affected my ankle big time which in turn affected my knee. My yoga teacher informed me the big toe is the stabilizer for our balance so it's also affected my posture. I have had PT and he told me I should've been in for treatment within a week of surgery. My doc told me NOT to do PT....LOL wanted to sue my surgeon but she was married to a lawyer. Waste of time anyway. I'd follow Dr. Berg's exercises religiously!!
I’ve had a bunion since I was a little kid. Became much worse and painful as I grew. I went to a podiatrist and the Dr. told me that it was genetic. Which both my parents do have. And yes, other things described in this video do enhance the bunion. I had to have surgery to have the bunion removed. For the surgery, the foot is opened up. The bunion shaved off. The big toe bone is broken, then realigned. A small metal piece is put in place on the big toe bone to keep it straight. You are obviously on conscious under surgery. Recovery is uncomfortable. But SO worth doing. Did the surgery over 5 years ago. Not one problem. Best thing I did to get rid of the pain/ bunion on my foot. It is a medical problem. My insurance paid for the surgery.
I also wanted to ad; If you're think of doing the surgery for bunion removal, make sure you do a background check on the Doctor. That the Doctor is experienced in doing the surgery. I had it done here at the Cleveland Clinic from a reputable Dr. who actually specializes in bunion removals. Again, had it over 5 years ago. Not one problem.
Same. I had a sports orthopedic surgeon do my foot. Best decision. Mine is also genetic from fallen arches, over pronation and a very sharp Q angle from hip to inside of my knee. I do all kinds of exercises to strengthen the weak muscles but only surgery was going to fix my problem. Best to you.
Same.
Mine was genetics, ballet pointe shoes for years, gymnastics for years then modeling professionally for years.
I’m grateful for the body I have now in my 40’s from everything but my poor feet never stood a chance 🤣💚
That’s fantastic! I’m so happy for you!
@erock, U totally agree with you. Inherited this 'pain in the butt' from my mother's family.
Had surgery done over 20, best thing U ever did
My 27 year old niece just had the surgery. I can remember her Mom having bunions and she was young. And my neice had them since she was itty bitty and I thought it really surprizing! So they're genetic! Never would have thought this 😮👠👠 thought her Mom had from wearing her high narrow pointed heels..
Excellent! Thank you!
Thank you so much for such a very useful information.
You are the most informative doctor Ive ever seen. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks for the info Dr Berg.
Happy to be of help!
Thank you Dr. Berg, excellent information. Thank you, thank you..
Thank you.
Most helpful.
Thank you so much Dr.Berg for this good advice for bunions, God bless you.
My Dear Doctor, thank you for all you do and all your help. Have bunions but huge arch making feet roll inwards and now stuck with Drop Foot. Anything you can suggest for the later as well? Thank you again and God Bless you 🙏
Thank you so much for this information 🙏🏻
Thank you so much dr eric berg
Hi, Dr. Berg. Love to listen to your information regarding Bunion. What can I do for a hammer toe?
Doc I’ve been looking for these answers since my I got my bunion. Thank you for this video and these exercises. I’m going to start them today.
Same here..let's recover together 😊
Thank you!
This helps!
Patricia
Awesome
Thank you
Doing the alphabet with my feet helped me to avoid arch pain. Used both upper case and lower case alphabet just to get full stretch! Easy while watching tv! :)
Hey Dr. Eric, I have to add a #4 cause: I had cancer in right leg and my sciatic nerve was removed so my foot is paralyzed (I did baffle my Docs, when I had feeling below my knee due to developing an extra nerve through years of ballet). Since my left foot compensates for the right one, I now have a huge bunion. I use a comfy toe separator and a medical foot massager, but didn't know about the exercises....thank you! (some I cannot do because a paralyzed foot does not bend, but I'm excited to try the rest!).
Thank you so much Dr.Eric Berg. Gbu
Wow perfect timing!Thank you!!
Glad you found it helpful!
Good morning Dr berg..could you please help with severe painful calluses..many thanks in advance 🤗
So grateful for this video !! Thank you. Im 42 and an suffering bunion pain daily which is now affecting my knees in particular my left side.
My knees my hips back amd neck. 😖
@@BossQueen My left ankle, my right ankle ...Peripheral nuropathy, lipoma... ; )
Bunions are typically correlated with flat feet/flexible arch which may also be causing your knee pain. The pain at the bunion is typically from shoe pressure at the bunion. Try wearing athletic shoes with a soft mesh upper and a stiff sole and add in an arch support. Make sure you’re wearing the correct size shoe. You should have at least 1\2 inch from the end of your big toe to the end of the shoe when standing. You can also use a bunion pad to protect the bone in shoes. You can see a foot specialist for orthotics or to discuss corrective surgery. Best of luck.
Avoid gluten. I always find I have more pain in my ankles and knees when I eat a lot of bread. I’ve gone gluten free but when I cheat I feel it!
Dr E you are a wonderful person thank you 🙏
Super awesome info doc thank yoi so much.God bless.
Thank you for posting this video. I will be doing these exercises. I have suffered with bunions for many years. My right big toe is hallux rigidus now (I think I spelt that right) and my left big toe is becoming that too. However about 5 years ago I got orthotics from the hospital and they changed my life. I am 62 now and I am even able to run on the treadmill at the gym💖x
We need a tailor's bunion specific video please! Thx for this great video good dr. Berg!
1 of the best channels on all of you tube! Thank you.
I appreciate those kind words!
All foot exercises are very good and I will do it regularly now.Thanks Doctor
Thank you sir! i really appreciate your knowledge..
Hey thanks! Appreciate that.
Hope this works for me. These kids been ringing my doorbell, then running away. I never could chase them because of my foot issues. I sure will like to catch just one of them and put my foot where the sun don't shine.
🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good Motivation, you Go Girl 😂😂
Lolol they are probably super bored! Sad their parents find useful things for these children to do!
Thank you as usual for such helpful advice.
I appreciate your comment and I'm glad you're enjoying my content!
Thank you as always.
I had terrible pain from this for about a week. Luckily it went away fairly quickly with rest. My heart goes out to people who live with this for years, literally every step you take is so painful
Don’t worry it will come back 😢
uric acid
@@renenava5213 i have bunions and many years ago i drank the tea from the Kombucha mushroom, the pain went away and never came back. Apparently the mushroom tea cleans the body of the Uric Acid that contributes to the pain.
I live with this pain
Great advice. This and (slowly) transitioning from regular to barefoot style shoes. It’s been a month and I can see improvement. IMO, most people are wearing tight and ill-fitting footwear.
Great advice! 👍
Thank you 🙏 ❤️😀
Very useful information, Dr Sahib. THANKS a lot
Thanks so much for this, Dr. Berg! I have the exact opposite problem. My little toes -- which have been broken many times -- are in constant pain. I was moving furniture last weekend, and now I can hardly bear to put weight on my feet. I'm using a pillow under my feet as I sit here at the computer desk. I will work through the recommended exercises and try to strengthen up the muscles, and possibly look for wider shoes.
It's a load of $h!+.
@drjlrust is it possible le your little toes were never set properly after being broken? This happened to me, it took me quite some time to discover the problem. That was why they kept breaking, in my case. Next time it broke, I took a deep breath and pulled the toe long as hard as I could then released to set, then taped it tightly to next toe for 8 weeks, no less, changing tape as needed. Never had another problem. With it, it's been 20 years. Good luck!
Lllllllll⁷
Good stuff ! My bunion has already diminished after a few minutes of these exercises. And I can walk again . Thanks
thx. Dr Berg, that was very helpful.
Great I will definitely follow this exercises.thank u
In my experience, consulting a podiatrist saved me. Flat feet and Ankle pronation have been the problem and this is hereditary . I have plastic orthotics in my shoes and I use toe spacers between the big toe and second toe. My podiatrist provided strengthening exercises and stretches. These measures have arrested the development of bunions. I don’t have back, hip and knee pain and my legs are straight. In addition to Dr Berg’s advice re exercises, I strongly recommend a consult with a good podiatrist first before seeing a surgeon. Correct alignment from the feet up is so important. Avoid unnecessary bunion surgery, when the biomechanics in your feet, ankles, knees, hips and your spine can be corrected through a podiatrist. Some people would not have had success with these orthotics as I have or had a bad experience with podiatrists, but it pays to do the research. I see my podiatrist annually and have been for 20 or so years. My orthotics are reviewed to see if further modifications are needed or need to be replaced . If uncorrected, progressive joint problems can develop.. which may lead to joint replacement.
Can you share the type/brand of toe separator?
Yeah my podiatrist was like schedule surgery this is way beyond anything orthotics can help:/
@@sarahthomson8183 correct toes is a good one, but you just need a shoe wide enough for room.
@@sarahthomson8183 Hi! My podiatrist made one customised to fit between my big toe and second toe.
Thank you. Wonderful advice. Wish I had gone to a good podiatrist in my 30s.
Thx so much, Dr. Berg! I have requested you to talk about bunions around three months before in this channel and now it comes true!! Thank you!!!!✨
Thank you for a priceless video
I really need this exercise
All of the movements actually work. It takes time to get the muscles and flexibility going if you have been sedentary a long time, but worth it. Thanks, Dr. Berg.
Great advice - and definitely good exercises - and of course walking barefoot in sand , on grass, and Stone Beach ( stranding on the tennishal) when possible is always very good for muscles and cirkulation 🎶💚🎵
I have a rolling pin by my bed and roll my feet on it each day. It has definitely helped.
I'm so happy to see this. My doctor just told me to get surgery on my bunions now since they are not bad yet. Doing research that sounds like a bad idea.
Thank you sooo much doctor.
I am suffering from this problem.
Yoga Toes are a MUST!! I also love my OOfos! I just had Lapiplasty with a hammer toe fix caused by the bunion. Mine wasn't shoe related.
Custom orthotics and wear shoes with well padded soles like Sketchers.
Thank You Dr ,Berg .
Most welcome!
Fantastic video, thank you.
You're welcome! Glad you liked it.
Awesome advice and information.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
Hey Doc, Good Morning. A friend of mine emailed me today about suffering with Bunions so my first thought was to see what you had to say about those nasty little lumps. And, Yep, as usual you have the best advice and the healing method. Thank you so much, I'm sending out the links to her. Have a great day!!
My left foot is flat and I've noticed the development of a bunion so this video is very helpful. I'm going to start working on these exercises asap. I do have weak ankles and leg muscles so this will help. I'd like to recommend a brand of sock called Happy Feet that is designed to separate the toes and straighten them back out. They have helped me when I use them. I've found its hardest to separate the last two toes the most but after few minutes I feel a lot of relief. I've also found that a brand of shoe called Xero Shoes has helped me strengthen the muscles in my feet and I've gotten back a bit of my arch in the left foot. These shoes are very flexible and allow your feet to move naturally and flex.
Thanks dr...bergs.i will share this information so..helpful...have a awesome day .....!!!!
I've been watching since u first came out.love the info.
Bad shoes Shoes need to be made for people with toes These exercises are great My left ankle is snap cracking and poppong the side with the bunion Thanks Dr. Berg
Yes -- we need more shoe companies to think about function first!! I love my Xero shoes for this reason, but minimalist shoes with nice, wide toe boxes in general have made a huge difference for me
_Contrary to popular belief, bunions are aggravated, not caused, by shoes. The late anthropologist Margaret Meade observed many members of a South Sea island tribe had bunions, yet they had never worn shoes! They usually are the result of inherited faulty foot mechanics that put abnormal stress on the front of the foot._
Thank you, I really needed this.
Thank you, Dr Berg.
Thank you 🙏 love your videos. I’ve had bunions since 12 years old. Gonna try these exercises. Would love to fix my feet
thank you for the video
It's been more than 1 year.
How did it go?
Altra makes excellent shoes with natural size footbox. They are also Zero-drop from heel to toe. Once I tried them I never turned back. Injinji makes toe-socks for each individual toe. I use these alone or with a pair of light darn tough socks to avoid blisters while hiking or on long walks. Take care of your feet!
many thanks
You are so flipping AWESOME ❣️
THANK YOU ☺️
Thank you, Dr. Eric for this video. I am flat footed and started having the bunions problem many years ago, and now it has escalated to such an extent that the big toes are pushing the other toes to the other side so much over the years that I find one of the toes is now overlapping the other one. I can't really walk barefoot and wear good shoes and sandals to give support to my ankles and keep the feet sturdy. Also, I have been wearing the 5 toe socks for many years. I will start the exercises you have mentioned, but wonder if it is too late already. Foot doctors tell me that now the only option is surgery,. If you read this message, kindly reply. Thank you.. L
Hi Lalita
Do the exercises and wear the toe spacers for 6 mo or more.
Don’t give up
Stay positive you will see improvement.
😄👍💕
Hello Dr. Berg, (I don't have bunions), I just wanted to suggest a video idea.
Over the years, you have frequently had recommendations regarding blood work, blood tests, telling the ranges, and explaining what they mean. I have several in my notes. I want to have a blood test, and I want to test every little thing. A comprehensive blood test, listing all the necessary panels to have done, and how to interpret the findings would be a great video.
Sidebar: I want to get my iron tested before I give my first blood do action. It is said that most men have too much iron, and it is difficult to rid the body of iron. One health advocate says iron is the most important factor in health evaluation.
Thanks Dr Berg. Will let a friend whose been suffering with this for more than 10 years
Thank you
