Bunions are one of the most common forefoot deformities. A displacement of the bone under the 1st toe occurs. This causes the big toe to move towards the smaller toes. This shifting of the bones causes a bony prominence on the side of the patients foot (the bunion joint). Over a period of time the big toe may come to rest under (occasionally over) the 2nd toe. A Bunion is more common in women then man due to the fact that women tend to wear tighter shoes. This condition can cause a variety of different soft tissue and bony complaints which may result in severe pain to the patient. The primary cause of bunions is over pronation.

Advantage of orthotics: Orthotics will control the amount of over pronation and thus reduce the pain associated with this condition.

Dr Foot's Work Insoles

The abnormal pain and swelling of the joint at the base of the big toe that eventually causes the toe to point towards the outside of the foot. In severe cases, the big toe will cross or override the second toe. This is caused by long-term pressure from poorly fitting shoes and excessive pronation (flat arches). Women are usually more susceptible to bunions due to the tight shoes they tend to wear. Wearing better fitting shoes and Insoles (orthotics) to raise the arch and realign the foot will help reduce the pain associated with such a debilitating disorder.

Dr Foot's Insoles work wonders on problem-prone feet. These Insoles are biomechanically engineered to help relieve bunion pain. The contoured shape supports your feet in two directions, both lengthwise and across the arch, for maximum relief of pain and fatigue. The special poron heel cushion built into the insole helps to reduce shock absorption. Dr Foot Sport Insoles are engineered to combat over pronation and provide greater stability and maximum support. Ideal for patients seeking arch support to treat the underlying causes of bunions.
