QUESTION: Have you tried any of these? Let us know if the correctors, stretches or bunion exercises worked for you! 🦶We love our subscribers!🦶 Also let us know what topics you want to hear about! For the shoes and orthotics recommended in the video: wp.me/p9imRX-54n
Thank you for mentioning addressing the cause and not just the symptoms. So many doctors these days either don't know any better or just choose to ignore it completely until the patient goes away or dies.
Bunion surgeries are very profitable especially when taking into account the patient will be back in a few years with another bunion afrer going right back to the narrow shoes that caused them.
The podiatrist I went to today said there are no physical therapy options or anything other than surgery for bunions. I am sooooo glad to have found your videos. Thank you. I will try your ideas before I let her cut into my BONES. Yikes!!!!
This was extremely helpful in every way thank you! Ive watched so many videos and this was the most informative and helpful with ways to better the situation!
Thanks for all these alternative stretching tips, Dr. Tom. I will try them. Appreciate it as I don’t trust other podiatrists anymore after having gone through another podiatrist’s bunionectomy only recommendation, who did surgery on supposedly both feet (found out later he just just wanted to collect $ for the fake other foot), the bunion is back & painful.
The best vidéo made about it with full explainations and complete about all solutions and treatments available according to what kind of type of bunions issues ... so far the best video detailed and showing others solutions than surgery ... correcting the back hips ankle i the key as well for sure with orthotic soles ... gonna do it ... suffering for years about that ... thanks .
Thanks for all your tips. Can you show someone actually has bunions and through one or several of the treatment and got the toe straighten? I cannot find any on the internet of the actual 'before and after', only graphically drawings. Can you help?
These exercises and stretches are what I learned to do by listening to my body. Foot doc recommended a joint “clean out” surgery to treat arthritis pain. I opted for all natural address of musculoskeletal issues. All related to foot and ankle pain. I also had tight calves. Everything is connected!
My favorite foot guy! Been awhile since I've seen ur vids. Thanks again. I'm getting on your "keys" plus dropping more weight, since I know that's where my troubles begin. I remember you saying each lb down is 3lbs less pressure. Love that. 😊

I hope you read this. I've got frostbitten big toes a month ago. They're still painful and black on the bottom of the toe behind the nail area. The black area's are now blood blisters. Couldn't walk without balance and fell flat on my face. I had bunions to begin with. Need to see you someday, I'm in Northeast Michigan. You guys are the best and are a wealth of information 💕 Thanks so much 🙏

13:57 is THE TRUTH. If you are only going to do one of these things do the stretching. Great video that explains WHY you have bunion - tight muscles! I had bunions on both feet and did all the things recommended to try to fix them, toe spacers, splints, insoles, wide shoes, nothing worked. Until I stretched! I stretched my glues, hamstrings, CALFS, rolled out the plantar fascia. These are the things that work! If you want to go above an beyond add some exercises to strengthen all those muscles. After 2+ years of A LOT of stretching and strengthening have no bunions, strong ankles and strong arches. It is possible.

@@rcooper1033 the arthritis is no laughing matter as you know. Podiatrist suggested a joint “ clean out” surgery to remove bony spurs that he said would give me pain relief for 5-7 years but would need to repeat surgery after that. The kicker for me was that I might have swelling for up to 6 months after surgery. Well that got me thinking about whether I wanted 6 months of little to no exercise after surgery. I decided it was not worth that kind of possible health setback. In the meantime I manage it as per above and do PT toe exercises and self massage. Also got tested for dairy sensitivity results indicated very high levels of inflammatory indicators. So far so good. I wish you all the best.
Such a great doctor you are. Very well explained. I have mild bunion in my right foot, posterior tibial tendonitis probably both are caused by the same underlying problem. Thank you so much for explaining what is the real cause of this. God bless you😊

This video was so informative. I've watched so many other videos that never explained this root cause. This video is extremely helpful. Thank you. It really helps me to understand why I had a small bunion for most of my life then in the past decade it has gotten worse. I believe now it got worse because I had/have hips issues, severe pain from a cyst in my spine. That is the side that my bunion is on and has become worse and now my second toe is affected. Thanks again for explaining about stretching.

Thank u. I have serious bunions. I wish you would have given some specific shoe recommendations. Like Sketchers? I also wear compression stockings which further pushes the big toe over. I just ordered a pair without toe coverings. Will definitely try the exercises. Appreciate the video 🤗

Thank you so much for this information Dr. I have bunion issues and will start to do more stretches. I have an ankle surgery due to a torn tendon in my left foot. Have the bands the Dr gave me to continue care at home. So I haven't been really good on my exercising but I think I will get back at it more now 😊

This makes so much sense as I have developed a big toe bunion after driving for my job for hours at a time. I think the muscle he’s referring to has shorten and tightened from too much driving/sitting and my toe does feel better after I stretch my legs
My tendon seems to be " fuzing" to that joint. I've been rubbing it to losen it or help it separate from the joint. I think it's gout build up cementing the joint. Doing that ,pulling and stretching seems to help somewhat. I definitely don't wear tight shoes or socks.
This was the most informative video. Been using the gel pads between the toes and side pad when it get aches. Bought it arch support, as I thought that might be contributing to my bunion. Years of hard tennis without support didn't help. But this video confirmed my suspicion. Wish I live near you as I would come in for evaluation. Again, great video.

Thank you for the video! It's very hard to find something useful on this topic. I had such bumps on both legs, which is very uncomfortable and makes it hard to find suitable shoes. Depanten helped ease the situation, I highly recommend it to everyone in Romania!

Hm, while I do various exercises for the thumb itself, I never really thought about stretching the calves and even less about hamstrings and glutes. With my left leg being shorter than my right one in both bones, I really should have done my homework here, thanks. One other crucially important thing that does not get mentioned much is absolute necessity of getting your BMI as close to normal range as you can manage. In the space of six months I went from 36.6 to 32.3 and like hell I'm stopping now, we're going into 27.5 at the very least with this shit. I mean holy shit, I looked in the mirror the other day and was dumbfounded when some fresh-faced cherub peered back! Weight loss _does_ shave off years, guys. The only problem is, diet restrictions are not enough, you _have_ to move for the process to go above snail pace.
See chiropractor too, he may help with hip alignment fixing shorter leg. I used to walk funny because my hip and back were not adjusted or in place. Recently I had shingles on my right leg and it affected my nerves on that leg. I developed bunions soon after… now I’m making the connection. I will try the stretching and massage. I have learned that what ever does not move, dies. Let’s keep moving.
Losing weight helps with inflammation also. Can’t cure anything when there’s constant inflammation. That’s why people say that therapy doesn’t work for them. Good work on your healthier lifestyle 🎉
The bunion splints are a nightmare! My feet only start hurting when I used them and you're absolutely right, they don´t do much. I use orthotics with arch support and transverse arch support that my podiatrist prescribed, good shoes, and stretches. My bunions haven't lessened but they haven't worsened over years, so I'm happy but not satisfied. I have bunions since I was like 10-11years old, now I'm 31. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm not sure if they won't reappear after the surgery. How can I know if I had fixed the underlying problems you mentioned if my bunions haven't lessened?
We know you want a more detailed response, and believe us if allowed we would love to give more specific information. Unfortunately we have to let you know how important it is to see your podiatrist in person to get a more detailed response. There are just so many variables and risks for giving information without a proper physical exam in person. Good luck and we hope you feel better soon. We really appreciate you as a fan!

Feet over pronate because the tarsi sinus has collapsed. Before you try this or get lapiplasty (which is the best Bunion correction surgery) correct this problem with a HiPro Cure screw to keep the Tarsi Sinus open.
I have a high instep, a bunion, over lapping second toe, also osteoarthritis!!! Orthopedic surgeon has suggested surgery. Have tried exercises and separators. Just wondering IF should have the surgery...feel hopeless.

I am totally confused because I have been reading articles on the website for Correct Toes and they state that if you have a bunion, that you should wear flat shoes. Shoes that have a zero drop, are flexible and have a wide toe box. They show a variety of shoes on their site but they say you are not supposed to wear orthotics in the shoe. Also, since I have a problem with my second toe, which was operated on long ago for a hammertoe, to wear a metatarsal pad. Can someone help with this? Thank you.
I’ve been reading up on this as well as I have developed a big toe bunion recently. I think you can have a zero drop shoe and still have good arch support. That’s what I’m looking forward as well. I’m currently wearing brooks that have a 12 mm drop and recently upgraded to a good arch support. I am looking for a lower drop though
I have had the same problem. I’ve been trying to wear altras for the added room in the toe-box, but man does my big toe hurt after walking in those for even short distances. Time to try the arch support!
i was on arch support shoe since 2005.However price hike to USD 300 ++per pair and Covid stop me to visit these foot solution and good arch shop .I started to purchase flat sandal from internet .After 3 years bunion on left turns worse big toe touching on 2nd toe although no pain .I think I may need to go for surgical and I am looking for surgeon to perfrom syndesmosis bunionectomy without bone breaking. .Can you advise on this procedure ?
Hello Dr. I am your fan from the Philippines.❤️ I just loved your channel since I also suffered with bunions and wanted to have some informations about these. Is it natural that only one of my foot hurts sometimes? It hurts more if I have some errands to do and I always walk. 😔
We personally see really good pain relief with the right fitting shoes and an over the counter insole to start, these can make a huge difference for many people.
Great info that it's a whole arch-, ankle-, knee-, hip- problem, not just the toe. Question re: the shoe stretcher device 9:23 If you stretch to make a bit more room for the bump, but the tapered toebox of the shoe still angles your toes together, doesn't that just give more space for the bunion knuckle to get pushed farther out?
Wow we really appreciate the kind words. great feedback like this is what really keeps us working hard to make better and more meaningful content.

Michigan Foot Doctor , I have psoriatic arthritis and I have a pretty big bunion on my left foot and it's very painful. You said if it's from arthritis then it might not be able to be fixed, is it any kind of arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis? I also have one leg longer than the other not by much and I believe it's the left leg that is longer. Just curious thanks for the video
There are over the counter orthotics that are cheaper and custom orthotics that are more like a Ferrari. I recommend get one to get your from point A to B first, then get a more expensive one if needed. Check the show notes below the video for some options.

Yes i suffer since 18 years old. Now above 50 its starts other toe. For the problème of uric acid and mollusque allergie i stoped to take the sea food. Its stoped to deveop.
Will silicone separators work on severely turned toes with no arthritis. And will they work without causing any kind of pain while wearing them? How long to wear them to start?
Hello, my bunion is coming back after lapidus surgery two years ago. I have two pairs of new custom orthotics. One pair was designed to treat 2nd toe pain and metatarsalgia and it has a high dome in the middle arch. The other pair has a medial arch dome to treat pttd and pronation. I have a 3rd pair I bought OTC called Arch Rival that has a big toe groove. I don’t know which pair is going to help prevent the bunion from getting worse. The area of the bunion is red and sore, and the big toe is drifting towards the second toe. You can imagine how distressing this is. Since I live in CA, I cannot see you. Which orthotic do you think I should be wearing to stabilize the big toe joint.?
I have a really bad right big toe bunion and one starting on the left I know you say good shoes buttt I am a first responder I have only boots 12 x hours a day most of my week how can I help it and not get surgery or what kinda insoles . I am short and small and very active working training or just at home running. Please help lol thank you
I really appreciate your page videos! I wish I were still a Michigander, I would drive through blizzards to get to you. As a life long walker, I have had bunions for years now. I am not a heel wearer, but carry a good deal of muscle and some fat for my height. (64cm), at 145 lbs.

I’m in the military and wear boots 5 out of 7 days a week. I tore the ligaments in my left ankle and for 2 years didn’t get anything done (still waiting on surgery) but I’m 90% sure I have a bunion. How would you suggest I fix it wearing boots. Because my right food is starting to look like I have a bunion too
I don’t know if I missed it but I didn’t see any mention of wide toe box shoes. 🤔 I hardly ever wore heels only on special occasions. I noticed my bunion developing as I’ve been working standing up and walking 8 hours a day on sneakers that really are not built for a natural born foot 🦶 that it is not by any means narrow. Check babies foot prints they are all wide. While in the Island I grew up in I wore flip flops or barefoot and never had any problems. It all started after I began working and standing and walking in narrow sneakers all day long. So all of these suggestions are really good and I have done them all but having to wear same kind of narrow shoes will counter act all of it. My humble opinion based on experience. 🙂

I have a bunion on the big toe of only one foot. The problem I’m having is even if I didn’t have a bunion, the space between my big toe and the other toes is quite large. Any spacer/ stretcher I use doesn’t give a good enough stretch. Big toes have like a lollipop shape. Anyone else encounter this? Or any suggestions? Thnx
My bunion popped out in 1 day when I was 22. Now 40 years later my bunion sticks out 1/2 inch. I wear a silicone spacer to keep the big toe from crossing over the 2nd toe. A couple of years ago I developed a lump on the top of that foot. DR x-rayed it and said the lump is arthritis. By the way, I am 5'6, 136 lbs
I have question,im 17 years old and i have bunions but on right foot I have smaller and on left bigger and im scared to go on surgery,how can i remove them without surgery?
But in all seriousness there are definitely options beyond surgery, although in the right circumstances that may be a great option. Always get evaluated by your doctor first!

@@rcooper1033 the arthritis is no laughing matter as you know. Podiatrist suggested a joint “ clean out” surgery to remove bony spurs that he said would give me pain relief for 5-7 years but would need to repeat surgery after that. The kicker for me was that I might have swelling for up to 6 months after surgery. Well that got me thinking about whether I wanted 6 months of little to no exercise after surgery. I decided it was not worth that kind of possible health setback. In the meantime I manage it as per above and do PT toe exercises and self massage. Also got tested for dairy sensitivity results indicated very high levels of inflammatory indicators. So far so good. I wish you all the best.
@@mbtvalliinflammation needs to be discussed with any health issues. Can’t heal with chronic inflammation
You are a true doctor in your specialty.
Such a great doctor you are. Very well explained. I have mild bunion in my right foot, posterior tibial tendonitis probably both are caused by the same underlying problem. Thank you so much for explaining what is the real cause of this. God bless you😊

I am grateful for this information. Thanks very much!
This video was so informative. I've watched so many other videos that never explained this root cause. This video is extremely helpful. Thank you. It really helps me to understand why I had a small bunion for most of my life then in the past decade it has gotten worse. I believe now it got worse because I had/have hips issues, severe pain from a cyst in my spine. That is the side that my bunion is on and has become worse and now my second toe is affected. Thanks again for explaining about stretching.

Hello. I’m a physiotherapist and my thesis was about hallux valgus. My instagram is Alexisk96 I can help you
Thank u. I have serious bunions. I wish you would have given some specific shoe recommendations. Like Sketchers? I also wear compression stockings which further pushes the big toe over. I just ordered a pair without toe coverings. Will definitely try the exercises. Appreciate the video 🤗

Thank you so much for this information Dr. I have bunion issues and will start to do more stretches. I have an ankle surgery due to a torn tendon in my left foot. Have the bands the Dr gave me to continue care at home. So I haven't been really good on my exercising but I think I will get back at it more now 😊

Awesome thanks for watching, we appreciate you!
Going to my 5th Podiatrist today!!
This makes so much sense as I have developed a big toe bunion after driving for my job for hours at a time. I think the muscle he’s referring to has shorten and tightened from too much driving/sitting and my toe does feel better after I stretch my legs
I don't dare try to stretch my legs as they will spasm and I have to jump up and down on that leg to remove the pain. Bunion still hurts.
My tendon seems to be " fuzing" to that joint. I've been rubbing it to losen it or help it separate from the joint. I think it's gout build up cementing the joint. Doing that ,pulling and stretching seems to help somewhat. I definitely don't wear tight shoes or socks.
This was the most informative video. Been using the gel pads between the toes and side pad when it get aches. Bought it arch support, as I thought that might be contributing to my bunion. Years of hard tennis without support didn't help. But this video confirmed my suspicion. Wish I live near you as I would come in for evaluation. Again, great video.
You are a great fan, and we really appreciate you. We hope you have some relief with your bunion pain!

Hm, while I do various exercises for the thumb itself, I never really thought about stretching the calves and even less about hamstrings and glutes. With my left leg being shorter than my right one in both bones, I really should have done my homework here, thanks.
One other crucially important thing that does not get mentioned much is absolute necessity of getting your BMI as close to normal range as you can manage. In the space of six months I went from 36.6 to 32.3 and like hell I'm stopping now, we're going into 27.5 at the very least with this shit. I mean holy shit, I looked in the mirror the other day and was dumbfounded when some fresh-faced cherub peered back! Weight loss _does_ shave off years, guys.
The only problem is, diet restrictions are not enough, you _have_ to move for the process to go above snail pace.
See chiropractor too, he may help with hip alignment fixing shorter leg. I used to walk funny because my hip and back were not adjusted or in place. Recently I had shingles on my right leg and it affected my nerves on that leg. I developed bunions soon after… now I’m making the connection. I will try the stretching and massage. I have learned that what ever does not move, dies. Let’s keep moving.
Losing weight helps with inflammation also. Can’t cure anything when there’s constant inflammation. That’s why people say that therapy doesn’t work for them.
Good work on your healthier lifestyle 🎉
The bunion splints are a nightmare! My feet only start hurting when I used them and you're absolutely right, they don´t do much. I use orthotics with arch support and transverse arch support that my podiatrist prescribed, good shoes, and stretches. My bunions haven't lessened but they haven't worsened over years, so I'm happy but not satisfied. I have bunions since I was like 10-11years old, now I'm 31. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm not sure if they won't reappear after the surgery. How can I know if I had fixed the underlying problems you mentioned if my bunions haven't lessened?
We know you want a more detailed response, and believe us if allowed we would love to give more specific information.
Unfortunately we have to let you know how important it is to see your podiatrist in person to get a more detailed response.
There are just so many variables and risks for giving information without a proper physical exam in person.
Good luck and we hope you feel better soon. We really appreciate you as a fan!

Feet over pronate because the tarsi sinus has collapsed. Before you try this or get lapiplasty (which is the best Bunion correction surgery) correct this problem with a HiPro Cure screw to keep the Tarsi Sinus open.
Where will I get bunion pads or socks?
I have a high instep, a bunion, over lapping second toe, also osteoarthritis!!! Orthopedic surgeon has suggested surgery. Have tried exercises and separators. Just wondering IF should have the surgery...feel hopeless.

Yeah that’s great but have u ever cured anyone with bunions using these techniques? If so where’s the before after proof photos?
What a great tip, the shoe stretcher.
Has anyone tried this and did it work? My podiatrist said it wouldn't work and only option is surgery. I really don't want surgery.
What do you th ink of wearing Crocs classic sandles around the house?
I am totally confused because I have been reading articles on the website for Correct Toes and they state that if you have a bunion, that you should wear flat shoes. Shoes that have a zero drop, are flexible and have a wide toe box. They show a variety of shoes on their site but they say you are not supposed to wear orthotics in the shoe. Also, since I have a problem with my second toe, which was operated on long ago for a hammertoe, to wear a metatarsal pad. Can someone help with this? Thank you.
I’ve been reading up on this as well as I have developed a big toe bunion recently. I think you can have a zero drop shoe and still have good arch support. That’s what I’m looking forward as well. I’m currently wearing brooks that have a 12 mm drop and recently upgraded to a good arch support. I am looking for a lower drop though
I have had the same problem. I’ve been trying to wear altras for the added room in the toe-box, but man does my big toe hurt after walking in those for even short distances. Time to try the arch support!
i was on arch support shoe since 2005.However price hike to USD 300 ++per pair and Covid stop me to visit these foot solution and good arch shop .I started to purchase flat sandal from internet .After 3 years bunion on left turns worse big toe touching on 2nd toe although no pain .I think I may need to go for surgical and I am looking for surgeon to perfrom syndesmosis bunionectomy without bone breaking. .Can you advise on this procedure ?
Hello Dr. I am your fan from the Philippines.❤️
I just loved your channel since I also suffered with bunions and wanted to have some informations about these.
Is it natural that only one of my foot hurts sometimes? It hurts more if I have some errands to do and I always walk. 😔
More pressure can always make the foot hurt for sure, we usually do see one foot slightly tighter and worse than the other one
We personally see really good pain relief with the right fitting shoes and an over the counter insole to start, these can make a huge difference for many people.
Thank you so much Doctor! ❤️
Thank you so much Doctor! ❤️
@@DrTomBiernacki Just any type of insole? Not one that offers some type of support, say arch or metatarsal arch? Thanks
Great info that it's a whole arch-, ankle-, knee-, hip- problem, not just the toe. Question re: the shoe stretcher device 9:23 If you stretch to make a bit more room for the bump, but the tapered toebox of the shoe still angles your toes together, doesn't that just give more space for the bunion knuckle to get pushed farther out?
Wow we really appreciate the kind words. great feedback like this is what really keeps us working hard to make better and more meaningful content. The answer is that the stretcher is not perfect but it can get rid of that extreme pain in some people, which is the goal.

Michigan Foot Doctor , I have psoriatic arthritis and I have a pretty big bunion on my left foot and it's very painful. You said if it's from arthritis then it might not be able to be fixed, is it any kind of arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis? I also have one leg longer than the other not by much and I believe it's the left leg that is longer. Just curious thanks for the video
ruclips.net/video/eJNMHFnwQSM/видео.html this might help!
Custom orthotics caused my hammer toe and big toe trying to cross 2nd toe. I had orthotics mDe because of plantar
Fasciitis.
What are some good Orthotics and where should I get them? Also, how long do they last?
There are over the counter orthotics that are cheaper and custom orthotics that are more like a Ferrari. I recommend get one to get your from point A to B first, then get a more expensive one if needed. Check the show notes below the video for some options.
Hi how do you get callus to be removed off the bunion. Can one use salicylic acid please assist?
Great information! I was told many times bunions come back. Now it makes sense.

Where is the link to the shoe stretcher? Thanks.
Yes i suffer since 18 years old. Now above 50 its starts other toe. For the problème of uric acid and mollusque allergie i stoped to take the sea food. Its stoped to deveop.
Will silicone separators work on severely turned toes with no arthritis. And will they work without causing any kind of pain while wearing them? How long to wear them to start?
Hello, my bunion is coming back after lapidus surgery two years ago. I have two pairs of new custom orthotics. One pair was designed to treat 2nd toe pain and metatarsalgia and it has a high dome in the middle arch. The other pair has a medial arch dome to treat pttd and pronation. I have a 3rd pair I bought OTC called Arch Rival that has a big toe groove. I don’t know which pair is going to help prevent the bunion from getting worse. The area of the bunion is red and sore, and the big toe is drifting towards the second toe. You can imagine how distressing this is. Since I live in CA, I cannot see you. Which orthotic do you think I should be wearing to stabilize the big toe joint.?
Second toe pain may be caused by Morton's toe you can try putting a support under your big toe joint it can be helpful, Google it
I have a really bad right big toe bunion and one starting on the left I know you say good shoes buttt I am a first responder I have only boots 12 x hours a day most of my week how can I help it and not get surgery or what kinda insoles . I am short and small and very active working training or just at home running. Please help lol thank you
ruclips.net/video/cbfQh-wjxOE/видео.html This may help as well!
Can I the link for the exercise video? I would like to start on my exercises
I really appreciate your page videos! I wish I were still a Michigander, I would drive through blizzards to get to you. As a life long walker, I have had bunions for years now. I am not a heel wearer, but carry a good deal of muscle and some fat for my height. (64cm), at 145 lbs.

Hi Doctor, I have bunion and hammertoe on right foot. But torn peroneus brevis on left ankle. Am I supinating or pronating or both?
It's difficult to say, especially in complicated situations like yours. Always trust someone to evaluate and take care of you in person. Unfortunately these biomechanical evaluations can be very detailed and sometimes a tight hip, knee or back can change the entire picture. We hope you feel better soon!
I never wore heals but overtime weight and wearing flats I always wondered how I got a bunion

I have hip problems, I really need a hip replacement but won't get one so I can't do these stretching exercises, it hurts like hell.
I have hip wear and tear . have to found something to stop wearing? Im barely starting
Is there a specific shoes you can recommend
I’m in the military and wear boots 5 out of 7 days a week. I tore the ligaments in my left ankle and for 2 years didn’t get anything done (still waiting on surgery) but I’m 90% sure I have a bunion. How would you suggest I fix it wearing boots. Because my right food is starting to look like I have a bunion too
I don’t know if I missed it but I didn’t see any mention of wide toe box shoes. 🤔 I hardly ever wore heels only on special occasions. I noticed my bunion developing as I’ve been working standing up and walking 8 hours a day on sneakers that really are not built for a natural born foot 🦶 that it is not by any means narrow. Check babies foot prints they are all wide. While in the Island I grew up in I wore flip flops or barefoot and never had any problems. It all started after I began working and standing and walking in narrow sneakers all day long. So all of these suggestions are really good and I have done them all but having to wear same kind of narrow shoes will counter act all of it. My humble opinion based on experience. 🙂

I have a bunion on the big toe of only one foot. The problem I’m having is even if I didn’t have a bunion, the space between my big toe and the other toes is quite large. Any spacer/ stretcher I use doesn’t give a good enough stretch. Big toes have like a lollipop shape. Anyone else encounter this? Or any suggestions? Thnx
Could I pop my toe back in place myself?
Are the original Dr Scholl's wooden soled sandals good to wear with bunions?
Why not recommending shoes like vivo footwear or any other brand that makes barefoot style shoes....?
My bunion popped out in 1 day when I was 22. Now 40 years later my bunion sticks out 1/2 inch. I wear a silicone spacer to keep the big toe from crossing over the 2nd toe. A couple of years ago I developed a lump on the top of that foot. DR x-rayed it and said the lump is arthritis. By the way, I am 5'6, 136 lbs
Couldn’t find the link for the shoe stretching device. 😢
I have also used the toe corrector, it didn't work, I injured myself big toe at some point.
Thanks
If you walk with your toes spread out and how you walk . Could that help ?
I have question,im 17 years old and i have bunions but on right foot I have smaller and on left bigger and im scared to go on surgery,how can i remove them without surgery?
I know a great almost 20 minute video that goes into detail on that 😁
But in all seriousness there are definitely options beyond surgery, although in the right circumstances that may be a great option. Always get evaluated by your doctor first!
Great advise, love your channel 👏
Thank you soooo much it keeps us motivated for sure!
Does any of this apply to bunionettes (tailors bunion)?
