What A Bunion Is And Why It Tends To Get Worse Over Time
A bunion forms when the joint at the base of your big toe shifts out of place, causing the toe to lean inward and create a visible bump.
Over time, repeated pressure and friction can make the joint more irritated, leading to increased pain and stiffness. Without treatment, the misalignment can worsen, making it harder to walk comfortably and wear certain shoes.
Signs Your Bunion May Need Professional Treatment
Early bunion care can relieve pain and prevent the joint from becoming more irritated over time.
If you experience any of the following, it may be time to have your bunion evaluated:
- Pain at the base of the big toe
- Swelling, redness, or tenderness around the joint
- Trouble wearing certain shoes comfortably
- A visible bump that continues to grow
Sound familiar? Let’s talk about your symptoms.
Why Bunions Develop And What Can Make Them More Painful
Bunions can develop because of your underlying foot structure and the pressure placed on it over time. Certain habits and daily activities can increase strain on the joint, making discomfort more noticeable.
In some cases, job-related demands such as long hours on your feet, repetitive movement, or footwear required at work can aggravate bunion pain, and we also provide treatment for work-related foot conditions as part of workers’ compensation cases.
