2. Use Shoe Inserts for Pain Relief
Shoe inserts are a great way of providing added comfort and support to your feet. Add shoe inserts to hold your feet in a neutral position, ensuring your movements are natural and therefore the bunions do not get worse.
The inserts can also provide support for your bunions so they do not press against hard surfaces, which can cause increased pain and deformity.
3. Stretch and Exercise Your Toes
There are many exercises and stretches that you can perform on your toes to relieve bunions. Some of the exercises include the golf ball roll, toe stretches, heel raises, flex and contract amongst many others. Ensure that you regularly and consistently carry out the exercises of your choice to stretch your toes.
Exercises stop further development of bunions, increase blood circulation to your muscles and tendons, improve your flexibility and mobility at the joint and also strengthen muscles in your feet. Exercises can also help realign your joints and retrain them to move naturally together with the muscles. However, they cannot permanently fix the problem.
