growth on the side of
your big toe.
• Over time the growth
can enlarge and cause
additional pain and
discomfort.
5. Bunions Causes

puts stress on your big toe.
• Wearing tight shoes that unnaturally push
your toes together or put stress on the front
of the foot such as high heels.
• Arthritis or foot injuries.

burning sensations and numbness in and
around the front of your foot.

toe.

or front of your foot.

7. How to prevent Bunions
• Always wear comfortable shoes that provide
enough room for all your toes.

provide additional space between your toes
and the end of the shoe.
8. Treatment Options for
Bunions

shoes in combination with arch supports
and inserts, padding and taping your foot to
alleviate pressure and pain, medication to help
