Title: Diagnosis and Treatment for Bunions


1
Diagnosis and Treatment for Bunions
2
  • Even though bunions are obvious from the pain
    and unusual shape of the big toe, further
    diagnosis is wise.

3
  • A doctor will usually take X-rays to determine
    the extent of the deformity.

4
  • Blood tests may be advised to see if a type of
    arthritis may be causing the pain. 

5
  • Based on this evaluation, your doctor can
    determine whether you need orthopaedic shoes,
    custom made inserts, medication, surgery, or
    other treatment.

6
  • To treat bunions, your doctor may recommend a
    prescription or over-the-counter pain reliever,
    as well as a medication to relieve swelling and
    inflammation.

7
  • A heating pad or warm foot bath may also help
    relieve the immediate pain and discomfort.

8
  • If your toe joint is painful and inflamed,
    applying an ice pack to the affected area several
    times a day can relieve pain and inflammation.

9
  • If the bunion isn't persistently painful and you
    catch it early, changing to well-made,
    well-fitting shoes may be all the treatment
    needed.

10
  • Surgery may be recommended for some bunions, but
    only when symptoms are severe enough to warrant
    such intervention.
