Podiatrists in Milwaukee - Bunion Cushions to Relieve Pain Monday, March 8th, 8:25 AM
How To Treat Bunions

Milwaukee, United States - March 5, 2021 / Milwaukee Foot & Ankle Specialists /

If you suffer from bunions, there are many conservative treatment methods, such as wearing wider shoes to make sure there is no friction on your joints. However, you may still suffer from pain, which is where bunion cushions can help! Our podiatrists in Milwaukee explain what bunion cushions are, how to wear them, and what to do if this at-home method doesn’t alleviate your pain.

What Are Bunion Cushions?

Bunion cushions are just that: cushions that go around your bunion to relieve pain caused by friction. They usually come in two sizes and designs. One common over-the-counter option is a small gel cushion that sticks to the bunion. The other design covers your entire foot like a sock and protects the big toe joint, where the bunion is located. Both of these create a barrier that can stop your bunion from rubbing against your shoe.

Treating Bunions

While bunion cushions, bunion splints, and other conservative treatments can help relieve pain, bunions will generally get worse over time. If not cared for by our podiatrist, a bunion can continue to grow, becoming inflamed and painful as time goes on. Additionally, you may develop hammertoes, back pain, and leg pain.

Other Considerations

Thankfully, most bunion cases can be relieved with cushions, at-home care, and well-fitting shoes. However, in severe cases, bunion surgery may be necessary. The good news is that this type of procedure is more advanced than ever and can relieve your pain permanently and get you back to an active lifestyle quickly! If bunion cushions no longer prevent your pain, or you notice your bunion getting worse, schedule an appointment with our podiatrist immediately. We can help determine what treatment is right for you.
