Bunions can be corrected through general treatment, medication and surgery. A bunion is a bone deformity in which the thumb is shifted outward in an oblique direction. Treatment is determined by the degree of deformity and pain manifestations. General treatment can help correct the deformity by massaging and pulling the bunion, and by wearing the appropriate brace. For bunions that do not respond to conservative treatment and have severe symptoms, surgery can be considered to correct the deformity. Instead of wearing high-heeled shoes or pointy shoes, you can wear loose sneakers, take rest, and avoid prolonged walking and exercise. Please follow your doctor’s instructions for medication.
