A bunion, or hallux valgus, is a common foot condition. It is a painful bony lump that develops on the side of your big toe joint. This bony bump can grow over time as your big toe gradually leans towards your second toe, leading to pain and discomfort.
The exact cause of bunions is not fully understood, but several factors may contribute to their development, including:
Poorly fitting footwear
Inflammatory health conditions, like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus
Abnormal walking patterns
Genetics
Spending long hours on your feet
Spread the cost of your treatment with fixed, monthly payments over a time period to suit you.
