- ArthritisIn short, a bunion is a bone growth deformity that can occur because of pressure. Usually, the condition occurs because of the pressure created by the way a person walks or the shape of the foot. For most people, bunions develop gradually over time. The condition can be made worse by standing for extended periods or by wearing ill-fitting, narrow footwear. Some people have a higher risk of experiencing bunions. In particular, individuals with a family history of bunions or other conditions like flat feet may be more likely to develop the problem. Likewise, previous foot injuries or being diagnosed with an inflammatory disease like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) increases the chances.

- BunionsBunions are a common foot problem that can make activities like running difficult. Correcting chronic foot pain is possible with PT.
- Hip ReplacementA robust immune system is vital for recovery. The best immune systems can quickly target, fight, and destroy threats. This is especially true for people undergoing elective and emergency surgeries. An elective procedure like a total hip replacement, for example, needs incisions to heal as soon as possible. There is the risk of infection as the body works to heal incisions and acclimatize to the new joint. A strong immune system reduces the chances of infection and lowers the risk of complications, speeding up the recovery process. While recovering, patients can also avoid the common cold, flu, and other viral infections. Dealing with both simultaneously has the potential to create some severe consequences.
- CallusesBeyond the physical growth that a person’s foot displays, other symptoms may indicate that an individual has a bunion. Inflamed skin on the side of the big toe or a big toe that turns inward towards the other toes are common signs. Thicker skin on the underside of the big toe or calluses on the second toe are also possible. Additionally, people may experience foot pain that comes and goes. The following non-surgical treatments can help with less severe cases, but if symptoms interfere with mobility, a trip to the doctor is usually in order.

- Physical TherapyPeople with more serious bunions may find that a trip to the podiatrist is in order. A podiatrist might decide that padding and taping the bunion is important to improve mobility and quality of life. Taping ensures the foot maintains a more normal position and reduces the pain in the area. Physical therapy (PT) can also be a smart solution for tackling inflammation and pain.

- Bunions ProblemsVarious conditions can impact the feet and interfere with daily activities. In particular, many people suffer from bunions. Research shows roughly 1 in 3 Americans have the condition, but women are more likely to experience bunions. The progressive disorder can result in further degeneration if no treatment is sought. However, many people can rely on at-home or over-the-counter (OTC) solutions to relieve chronic foot pain.
