5 Tips to Manage Bunion Pain at Home

Bunion pain can make everyday activities uncomfortable. Here are five simple tips to help manage your symptoms at home:

1. Wear Supportive Shoes: Choose shoes with a wide toe box and good arch support to reduce pressure on your bunion.
2. Apply Ice: Use an ice pack for 15-20 minutes to reduce swelling and inflammation.
3. Use Bunion Pads: These soft pads can cushion the bunion and prevent rubbing against your shoes.
4. Stretch Your Toes: Simple toe stretches can improve flexibility and alleviate pain.
5. Try Orthotic Inserts: Custom orthotics can help redistribute pressure and support proper foot alignment.

If your bunion pain persists, it might be time to see a specialist. Contact Oak Foot and Ankle to discuss your treatment options.
