bunion hammer toe

A bunion and hammertoe are both conditions that affect the bones in the foot. A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe, caused by the misalignment of the bones in the foot. A hammertoe is a condition in which the middle joint of a toe becomes bent, causing the toe to become permanently bent in an upward position. This can also be caused by the misalignment of bones in the foot.

Both conditions can cause pain and difficulty walking, and treatment options can include wearing wider shoes, using pads or orthotics, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgery. If you are experiencing pain or difficulty with bunions or hammertoes, it is best to consult with a doctor or a podiatrist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
