Key Takeaways: Non-surgical bunion treatments are multifaceted. Proper footwear and orthotics form the foundation (preventing further stress). Ice, heat, and medications handle acute pain. Exercises and braces may improve function and slow change. Alternative remedies may provide added comfort for some. But remember – no home remedy or device will truly “remove” the bump. These approaches are best understood as a way to live more comfortably with bunions and to postpone surgery as long as possible.
