bunion quizlet
There is no quick fix for a bunion. Bunions are a structural deformity of the joint at the base of the big toe, and they can only be permanently corrected through surgery. However, there are some things you can do to alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with bunions, such as:
- Wearing shoes that fit well and have a wide toe box
- Using bunion pads or cushions to reduce pressure on the bunion
- Applying ice to the bunion to reduce inflammation
- Taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen
It's important to consult with a podiatrist, who can recommend the best course of treatment for your specific case.
