    I have been wearing full time Vibram five finger shoes and have almost fully corrected dorsal bunions. Bad enough to cause significant plantar faciitis but no lateral bunions. I am very happy I never saw a doctor for this condition. I am an eye doctor.

  • @lg5819

    I like running and cycling and I have a bunion on my left foot since wearing half a size smaller slippers and forcing my feet into them while wearing narrower socks. I’m not wearing any socks at the moment, walking barefoot at home on laminated and carpeted floors. But winter will be here soon so I can’t walk barefoot at home all the time but I have just bought some cotton toe socks. I have flat feet too, and I use to wear ASICS GT 2000 series mens which had mid arch support but recently have changed to ASICS GEL excite 7 which feel like they have less mid arch support. I have a dilemma? Either purchase Altra running shoes with zero drop, wide toe box and no mid arch support for my flat feet, wearing on occasions correct toes spacers while at home and walking and running. Doing intermittent strengthening foot exercises in between to strengthen naturally my arch or just buy another pair of running shoes, like ASICS GT 2000 series with mid arch support which will help my Flat feet but never help strengthen my arch so I don’t rely on mid arch support like a crutch. The problem is I don’t wanna make my bunion worst but I want strong feet which may help my bunion.

    Please comment on the role of weight gain and the formation of a bunion. With the dramatic rise in obesity in the US I bet there is a large increase in bunions. I’m thinking that the extra weight contributes directly to the flattening of the foot which sets the stage for bunion reversal.
    And do you think weight loss will inversely help dramatically toward bunion reversal? (For those in pain, now that provides great motivation to get serious about pushing the plate away!)

  • @judyb4288
    @judyb4288 Pƙed 5 lety +12

    You have to really work on it you have to release the adductor and try to engage the abductor. More affective if you do trigger point work on the adductor and then put your finger on the outside and try to get it to press out, using abduction.

    • @DrTomBiernacki
      @DrTomBiernacki  Pƙed 5 lety +5

      Absolutely that abductor is definitely getting overworked. The key is to get pressure off of it and let it straighten the toe.

      Says who? Do you still trust the medical industry? Especially after the last two years of them trying to instill fear into everyone. I’m not saying some surgeries aren’t necessary , that would be foolish, but it’s only necessary in extreme cases for the most part (broken bone, deep wound, removing a tumor or object)

    When I went to a sports med doctor he said the bunion surgery corrects but fused the big toe, taking away your ability to run. That made me sad
    He recommended that I keep on going as long as my bunion doesn't crowd my other toes and if a don't have pain while walking.
    anyone else heard this?

    At the end is not a ‘reasonable’ shoe. They are not foot shaped, they are pointed at the end. Feet are naturally widest at the toes, but no modern shoes have this shape. You should look out for foot shaped shoes/barefoot shoes/minimalist shoes.

  • @aet523

    I’m 26 years old, and have a painful bump on the side of my big toe. It doesn’t hurt when I walk around, just when I’m laying down. My toe doesn’t look like it’s pointing anywhere but straight, so I’m not sure if it’s a bunion. I’m more than sure this is caused by me wearing tight shoes almost all my life, especially since I have wide feet and almost never wore wide shoes. I recently started wearing a 1/2 size up in wide and it feels so much better. My worry is that if I don’t get this bump surgically corrected will it only get worse even though I no longer wear tight shoes? If I continue to wear the right shoe, will the pain eventually just stop or will it continue to just get worse and worse as I age. I’m very concern bc I can see my dreams of military service fading in the distance due to something like this. Im even scared to go my doctor because than it will be on my medical record which will show up when I try to enlist. Any advice or insight will greatly be appreciated.

      Cuando llego a casa lo que hago es masajes pero nunca a disminuido.
