Preventing Bunions

Christopher Hodgkins, Orthopedic Surgeon at Miami Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute, says the treatment for a bunion starts by telling patients to modify the shoewear so wider shoes, wider toe boxes. If that does not work, you can put all kinds of spaces and splints to tolerate the pain better, but once those things fail it is time to consider surgery. He highlights the pain could be terrible.
