SUMMARY:
- Your toes are meant to lie flat and feel comfortable inside a shoe without getting pressed against one another. They should have room to move!
- Your diet is also important. If you are used to eating very fatty foods or opting for whatever happens to be in the fridge, this is a good time to start making smarter dietary choices.
- When it comes to bunions, though, if you spend a lot of time not moving your feet, you risk the muscles becoming tight, the fascia in your feet getting “glued together,” and losing strength in your feet.
- Massage will help you loosen up muscles in your feet and keep your toes facing the right way. When you put your foot into a tight shoe, you are encouraging your toes to be cramped.
- A bunion pad will cushion the area where the bunion hurts and will make it easier to wear shoes.
- A bunion sleeve covers a larger area of your foot than a bunion pad, and it might encase your whole foot arch.
- Crush some ice, wrap it in a towel, and put it against your bunion to diminish the pain. It will also work as an anti-inflammatory.
- If your bunions are already quite large, they might chafe against your shoe and cause your skin to wear away in that area. Regular foot soaks will help relieve tiredness, reduce sweat, and eradicate harmful bacteria.

This video is NOT about getting RID of bunions - it's about how to live with them. Misleading title.
Hollywood Art Chick i recommend you watch jarvis johnson bright side video
flip flops
@Princessat43a i agree. I have bunions, I had a bunion removed and it came it back. It runs in my family. Hopefully, my daughter doesn't get bunions.
@Princessat43a WHAT do u mean in early cases strapping can help? do u mean before the toes turn sideways (like stage 1) and its just a lump..that hasnt affected yr toe positioning yet,,, strapping would MAYBE REverse it?
@@blackceasar2141 please i have a same problem then what's the solution

Nothing apart from surgery will get rid of bunion

Who else looks at other people feet to see if they have a bunion like you do? *me*

Thank you for this GREAT video!
Very informative and educational.
I will definitely try those steps.
I used to wear toe spacers all the time. They shrank the bunion and it stopped developing. Now I just wear them at night and have no further problems.
i need to get some, mine isn’t noticeable, very mild but i want to prevent it from progressing any further
I was wondering if they actually worked?
What kind of toe spacers did you buy and from where?
@@patty7545 Walgreens Gel Toe Spacer
@@kaileim970 Thank you so much
This is very educative, thanks for that. Every think in this video is TOTALLY TRUE.
Thanks for this video :-)
Will surely help a few of my relatives...
👍👍👍 Love your videos..
I had a bunion on my right foot and Taylor bunions on on both feet. I was able to reduce them to almost nonexistent by stretching and strengthening my hips, which changed the way I walk.
How? Do u have flat feet or no?
My right foot is bit more turned out than left foot. Right foot has the bunion. I think the pressure is from position of hip joint. Don't know of hip exercise to try correct. Maybe in soles to correct foot? No idea as I'm now 61. Anyone got advice. Thx
i have a mild bunion for years i been wearing new balance walking sneakers and it has kept the bunion in check now 20 years later my bunion still has not gotten any worse
I was hoping there was a better solution for bunions than surgery. Thanks for this video 👍👍
God bless you and keep up the good job, Bright side, this video is one of the best. Thanks a lot with love.
I really got my daddy’s feet 😩
Chloe Perez I got my mommy’s feet and my daddy’s toes.🙃
Sameee😣
Same :(
@Chloe Perez, I do TOO. His mom an aunt had the bunions bad. 😁😁
I felt that
This is titled wrong ...its management not getting rid of it.
Informative, thank you.
Thanks a lot,for ur wisdom🙇♀️..
Going barefoot as often as possible helped me a lot. It makes your feet stronger.
So true! Bunions run in my family. My daughter developed them at 8😪!. I noticed that they got better during the pandemic while we're home.
@@karlenecowan4694 I'm sorry if this is unsolicited advice but switching to minimalist shoes was the best thing I did this year. Those shoes have enough space for your toes which means that your feet have the space to realign to their natural bunion free position. They also have a flexible sole and zero drop so they help you keep a correct posture.
@@annie5741 I just wore my Vivobarefoot shoes to work for the first time and they definitely force me into a way better walking posture. You are definitely correct
Very helpful thanks.
I find using the kinesiology tape has been helpful too! There’s plenty of videos on how to apply it on the web, though they vary some. I’ve experimented to find which works best for me.
I started wearing zero drop wide toe box shoes. So far it's been a couple months and my feet do feel better.
Helpful & wonderful, thank you
Hiya great video I've got the biggest Banyan you ever seen and I've got one on the other foot 2 and now I'm disabled riddled with Arthritis and you're so right it really does hurt when they're coming until they get really really big
Mulțumesc pentru acest document.
anyone living with bunions, I'd recommend getting lapiplasty surgery, the best bunion surgery out there in my opinion. I recently just got this procedure and am making update videos if anyone's interested in getting the surgery.
Can you you give me s ip date on bunion surgery
But how long is recovery? I have a very active lifestyle and very important job! How long would I have to stay off my feet? When would I be able to wear shoes? Would I have to stay in a cast or something? Is there a way to get rid of them without surgery?
I’ve been seeing you on a lot of bunion videos lol
I want this surgery too. but unfortunately it is not available in Europe.
Thank you for this informative video, I have developed a bunion on my right foot, and needed to know what caused it,as well as what to do for some relief. I don't think it runs in my family, but I wore high heels for years. (I am 4'9" tall, &it felt(feels)at times like being 'in the land of the giants'!) So, yes I wore them often. I have seldom wore heels in past 5 years, however, but during the past 3yrs, I've had quite a bump appear beside my big R toe. Boy it smarts at times, and the whole area where bump has formed, burns deeply, feeling like, what I would imagine, stepping on a hot coal! I was happy to learn that I may be able to do exercise, and perhaps even help mold or shift the bows there to improve. Yes, sensible footwear is imperative, thanks again for the tips!
Maggie. 🚫 😯 👠 👢 👡 ✔ 👟 👣 💅 = 😃😄
Hi Maggie! How are you dealing with your pain now? My right foot is killing me and I don't want to have surgery. Thanks, Larry
larry lucas to bad you need to take surgery. I had to do it as well and i can tell you it hurts like nothing else. It’s pain like i never felt before. GOOD LUCK!

Thanks for this helpful video
As a podiatrist, I can’t agree with most of this advice! Once bunions developed and you are genetically prone it won’t really reverse but you can do things to help with the pain. Having a bunion doesn’t meant you need surgery however. That is only reserved for people with pain and that is the main thing being treated. Shoe wear makes a difference yes. Weight loss won’t really make a difference. I’m not sure how effective these exercises really are. Bunion pads are great! Again main indication for surgery is pain
How do you know these methods are not working?????you tried them on your patients and they did not work?? Or you r saying it bc that s what you r taught at school???
Since you are a podiatrist, I want to let you know that a bunch of women I know who had surgeries said it didn't help, and actually theirs didn't go away either. You are in the field, you should come up with something for feet without surgeries, and make lots of money. Start with educating designers not to design weird toe shaped shoes for women.
@@btdu2789 they already know that! But not all people will develop bunions despite the shoes they wear. Men have them as well.
@@stefaniakonstantinidou981 are you very young? What this gentleman is saying is backed by science & experience. Once it develops it will not go away. One can mitigate the damage or progression but reversal is extremely unlikely.
@@Bambisgf77 ii m not very young and i know that what you call " science " is quite often research controlled by big pharma on what makes them money. Research by " sciene " is not independent nor true for that reason. If you want the truth u need to search beyond...
Thanks for the information
Thanks for the info.
I was born with bunions. I am the only one in my close family that has them. They are incredibly painful and the reason of why I quit the sport I love: basketball. I am 12 and will be 13 in May. About December of 2019 I will get surgery. I can't stop thinking about it and keep watching videos about this issue. God, please let my pain end after the surgery
Do tell us if there is any relief after surgery. Good luck.
Surgery was not easy, still painful. My foot is still very wide and I had to get rid of all my old shoes.
how could you not mention toe spacers. that is like the number 1 thing to correct it. and relieve pain.
You are right.
Bunion need that
I use some,.ok.
Toe spacers thank u
He did
D
Amazing video!
It looks like a bunion is starting to developing on one of my feet. I must stop it before it gets bigger. Thanks for the tips about the toe exercises.
What great information on CZcams video, I enjoyed it very much.
Very good information! 😊
Thank you for this very informative presentation. I recently developed a bunion on my right foot. Considered making an appointment for a podiatrist. However, because it's not very big with no pain I've decided to try some home remedies. But this morning, upon feeling a burning sensation from my left foot, I notice a small bunion starting up.
Really hopeful your video techniques will give me some relief.
What happened
Hi, your video is very helpful to some people. May I translate it to Chinese to help some people living in Taiwan?
I had bunion surgery in August do the exercises & lay marbles on the floor & pick them up with your toes . The exercises where you shift the weight on your toes is good too . The surgery was easy the recovery is painful avoid it if you can .
Really, ugh. I'm afraid to get surgery because I can't take narcotics. Can pain be managed with otc pills, you think?
Hey tell me please now u better or not after 3years
@@nikkigoyal3974 I’m a lot better now . But the scar is kinda bad . No pain , I want the other one done but i won’t do it b/c of the scarring . If you need surgery get it
Didnt I just miss something’s here? I have flat feet and narrow and no arch support. This causing the bunion.
I had bunion surgery on both feet years ago. Biggest mistake of my life! Now, the toe next to the big one can't straighten out, and is painful (both feet); and the big toe of the right foot climbs over the toe next to it. Painful and unsightly! Please do your research before having surgery!
How long did yiu have The surgery
Dam I’m sorry to hear that.
I agree with you I have done it, and I greatly regret it
so i'm a dancer and i am going on point shoes soon but i have bunions on both feet. should i have surgery or not
Maya Naicker yes completely agree with you a great doctor makes a big difference I am so happy with my results I suffered so much before but now I can dance all night long
Hi random stranger scrolling through the comments while the video is playing
Me too
Hi
@@michaelawalsh3601 and
Hi lol
@@SelinaZinchuk Ikr 😂
I will try, thank you
@brightside please tell us that how do we have to do the foot exercise???
Do we have to sit or stand up and then do it?
I do Pointe Ballet, so it’s impossible for me not to get bunions. I already have small ones, but I will try these tips and hopefully they will help!
I have slightly bent toes on my right foot from wearing shoes that were too small when I was younger. Is it possible to correct this as well? Ten years ago I was prescribed orthopedic insoles, are treatments more advanced today?
the video I have been waiting for...
Thank you so much
I have been wearing a silicone insert between my big toe and my little toe but today I dusted off an old pair of Earth shoes (negative heel technology) that I used to like wearing. I had not worn them in years, but they really felt great today. I have started to get a bunion on one foot. It is sore sometimes. I'm going to go ack to wearing this type of shoe for a while to see if it helps my bunion issue. Thanks for this video!
I like all those ideas thank you
*I was born with bunions...*
I can relate
@@gyannunezYeah, true..Lol.
Me and my cousin also did
Yes me too
@@deedoran5400 it sucks..
Thank you! But when have I do operation?
Very nice video friend nice sharing 🎉🎉🙏
Great info
Magnifique j'adore la vidéo 👍
Thank you
I'm a big and huge fan I love your video
thanks, great information ^^
Thanks ..it's sounds helpful..my father suffers from this..it will help him..🙏
Well the only solution for me was to have foot surgery on my 2 feet with no regrets. I love the way my feet turned out great doctor as well it’s was painful and a slow recovery but worth it
My big toe nails have thickened and it appears skin around nails are pulling away since the bunions have developed. What can i do to prevent further erosion of nails?
Thanks for the video i hope it works out my mom said i had to get surgery but now i dont because of the video
Excellent 👍
Thanks
Hey bright side. You make awesome videos.
Correct nice information
Nice exercise for bunions I hve. The problem I am following exercise
Thanks 🙏💐✌️
I am flat-footed and have since developed arthritis from some knee surgery that I had a few years ago. I have developed bunions on both feet which are painful and give me unexpected muscle cramps, mostly when driving. I use bunion pads but honestly, I have not experienced any relief.
Nice one thankso
Love that beat 🎶
My right tue has a gout, it is painful at night.
I will a bonus tip to treat it.
Thanks
Thank you bright side without you my bunions will never be gone
Has your bunion been cured
Nope no bunions, but the toes exercises are great even if you don't have bunions. Thanks for sharing, great video BRIGHT SIDE!
You are blessed not to have it
Is there a chance to correct and eliminate bunions as it took a very long time. As per your 5 ways advice? If not what’s the best remedy? Thanks
Placing rubber bands around your two big toes together, then stretching them apart works. I'm doing that now. Thanks for other options.
Virginia Bradley did you see any results?
@@iqra9989 You just reminded me to do it. I guess when it doesn't hurt I forget to do it. I don't know if it worked, but it was suggested by a doctor.
When I got my feet deformed I was 20 years, slim and actif, I was not wearing high hill shoes...
Bad sneaker shows can do it either way
I’m a bit concerned about this comment because I think I’m getting a bunion & I run a lot..... maybe it’s my babies?? 👟😩
Can these be done for tailors bunion as well?

hi and for skaters what is the solution ? i have on my two foot it doesnt hurt right now .. but not like in the video, next to my little finger, i have reducing my time skatin, do you know what can i do ?
Do you mean ice skating or skateboarding? If ice skating, does your boot fit you correctly? Have you had it punched out in the bunion areA?
Have a good day random stranger scrolling through the comments.
💞what are u thinking about my vids
I needed this how can you meet place
What do you do for a dorsal bunion?
Thank u
I don’t even wear heels and rarely wear flats. Yet I still have this problem, despite wearing wide shoes like boots and loafers. . .
I wear heels, that’s why I have them. And I’m only 12.
I just noticed that I have one forming. I have large fee
t, and when I was growing up, there weren't any fashionable shoes for me to wear. I always had room in my shoes for my toes to move. My P.A. told me that sometimes bunions are hereditary. Yay :/
Genetic
Nice footagraphy.
I like your videos but the music is distracting.
Pog...nice video guys.
Hello my name is Kevin green field and on my right foot I have got a bunoin and I've had this since child hood and because my mother had this on her right foot and I can feel every time and I need to back to normal.so can you please help me.
Me gustó pero quiero saber cuanto vale la cirugía
La verdad es que me caigo mucho porque no tengo balance están muy torcido mis de dos les a agradezco si me pueden alludar
I live in Barbados and can,t get anything to put in my shoes for bunions
High heels are so comfortable if we compare it with pointe shoes it's a ballerina problem
Can be corrected only through surgery, I actually had one 5 years ago. In my case, it was a hereditary problem, and the correction definitely was a big relief.
So none of your mentioned solution actually would work.....
Can u workout after surgery?Like can perform heavy squats and run bare foot?
@@yourkingvijay yes ofcourse, but only after you fully recover, you will be back on feet in around 50 days. But, I would advise you to exert extra pressure, such a lifting weights and performing squats, only after 6 months. I, myself go to gym regularly....
Ok,tq paaji for advise.My bunions are not that grown or hearting,can they be naturally treated
@@yourkingvijay No, you cannot change the shape naturally, for relieving pain you could try bunion pads....
@@yourkingvijay his information is misleading, I can't stand when people act like everyone is the same, what did not work for you might work for someone else... I had the same thing, the only difference was mines was in it's early stages, sometimes it was painful... I soaked my feet everyday with warm water for 15 mins, then gently rubbed it with a pumice stone, after I put a few drops of Castor oil on some cotton and bandage it over the affected area... I soaked my feet and used the pumice stone once a day and applied the castor oil two- three times a day. And one day it was gone.. I no longer wear tight shoes so it never returned. This worked for me try it might work for you.
Mine stopped hurting simply by not wearing tight restricting shoes
