Does hereditary bunions need treatment?

Hereditary bunions generally need to be treated. If the bunion is mild and there are no obvious symptoms, it can be treated by adjusting the lifestyle or wearing orthotics, while if the bunion is severe with pain, it needs to be treated by surgery.
1. Mild bunion: If the bunion is mild and there are no obvious symptoms, the main treatment is conservative, avoid wearing high heels or pointy shoes, do more internal foot muscle exercises such as gripping the ground, and wear a bunion orthosis or brace to correct the bunion when sleeping or resting.
2. Heavy bunion: if the bunion is heavy and the pain seriously affects the life, generally speaking, the orthotics do not work well, at this time the treatment needs to be corrected by surgery.
Therefore, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time for further treatment according to the degree of bunion and the symptoms of hereditary bunion.
