There are often bunion patients who are understandably reluctant to undergo surgery, but unlike other diseases, conservative treatment of bunions is often unsatisfactory, while surgery is simple and effective, so most doctors strongly recommend patients to undergo surgery and ignore conservative treatment. Stretching of the skin between the toes, silicone supports between the toes, shoe inserts, massage. These old-fashioned methods have proven ineffective time and time again. Indeed, patients who come to the hospital for surgery are conservative and ineffective, but are there any conservative cures that do not come to the hospital? The following points are certain: 1. For bony deformities, conservative treatment is generally ineffective. 2, in the early stages of bunion, or very early, just soft tissue tendon dysfunction period, conservative treatment may be effective, or can slow the progress of the disease, the old methods can be tried, personally recommended toe socks, you can sew a small group of cloth between the 1, 2 toes to separate the two toes, sleep wear is not easy to fall, but this wear socks to sleep is not uncomfortable. Learn to walk barefoot in socks at home, 30 minutes each time, exercise foot muscles, should be effective. 3, to pay attention to one point: in this early stage, conservative treatment is far more important than removing the cause: avoid pointed high-heeled shoes, avoid hard-soled shoes for long walks or long periods of standing, do not always rub the protrusion with your hands, the more you rub the bigger, 4, if it is already obvious that the deformity can be seen, the characteristics of this deformity so that it can only gradually aggravate, and will not get better. Eventually it is difficult to avoid surgery. However, conservative treatment can effectively slow down the progress of the deformity, which can make the deformity stable for a long time and temporarily exempt from surgery. 5.There are indeed some patients with heavy deformity but no walking pain and no discomfort symptoms. Such patients are lucky that their forefoot is in a state of deformity and find another good balance, but the unsightly appearance and inconvenience of wearing shoes also bring these patients into the hospital. 6, bunion surgery is relatively simple, the risk is not big, but the effect is immediate, beautiful appearance, pain relief, foot callus disappeared after surgery, the cost is not much, about 5000 yuan, most of them can also medical insurance. Regarding the conservative treatment for bunion patients, what treatment options are available for patients with mild and early bunion deformities that are not obvious, or for patients who are too busy to schedule surgery in the near future? There are three main aspects of conservative treatment: 1. Choice of shoes and attention: Regarding shoes, the main thing is to reduce friction and stimulation. 2, a variety of support aids: the support is generally divided into four kinds, interdigital pads, night splints, bunion pads, special insoles or shoes. These braces are not therapeutic, but for patients with pain or discomfort symptoms, the correct use can improve the symptoms, especially for patients who temporarily do not have time for surgery, you can choose to apply. Interdigital pads are mainly used for patients with painful 1 and 2 toe webs and cramps, and can be worn during the usual shoe wear, but pay attention to local cleanliness. Night splints are mainly used for patients with obvious crooked bunions and 1 and 2 toe web cramps, and can only be used at night when sleeping. The effect is still good for patients with obvious pain. The bunion pad is mainly for patients with painful redness and swelling of the big toe due to friction, to reduce friction and promote inflammation. 3, the correct exercise method: first of all, we should pay attention to a wrong habit, some patients due to foot pain, every day after going home or watching TV, massage and rub the foot bone with your hands, this habit is completely wrong, may be comfortable for a short time, but will aggravate the progress of the deformity. For the more obvious bunions, some people are also used to breaking them straight, and this habit may also aggravate the deformity for some patients. As for the correct exercise method, the first is to walk barefoot and stand with the heel off the ground to exercise the forefoot muscles, and the second is to exercise the extension and flexion of the bunion to grip the ground and improve the stability of the metatarsal cuff. Note that all of the above conservative methods are not therapeutic and will not cure the bunion, but only relieve the symptoms, relieve the pain and prepare for surgery later.
