Bunions
A bunion is a bony lump that appears at the base of the big toe, specifically at the joint. It can make wearing footwear uncomfortable. If left untreated, more bone will continue to grow, making the bunion even larger and more painful.

What are the symptoms of a bunion?
Bunions are identified as a bony lump located most commonly at the base of the big toe joint, but also at the little toe joint. Redness, pain and inflammation can also be seen around the joint.
What causes bunions to develop?
Bunions are caused by a foot deformity, specifically the big toe abducting inwards leaving bone to protrude outwards and more bone to develop on top of this. Other factors can contribute:
- Genetics – joint mis-development or flat feet
- Arthritis
- Poorly fitted footwear
How can a Chiropodist treat a bunion?
Most commonly, treatment aims to relieve pain, for example using orthotics (insoles), padding, splints or joint mobilisation. If the bunion is very large or painful, surgery may be opted for.
