Bunions are usually caused by excess pressure on the foot, which can be attributed to various factors, such as:
Many people tend to ignore their bunions until the pain has become unbearable, and walking becomes a challenge.
Addressing bunions early can prevent complications (such as the second toe crossing over the big toe), allow for less invasive surgery and promote a quicker recovery.
