CAN A BUNION BE ON ANY TOE?
We see quite a lot of people with bunions in our clinic on the daily. With over 60% of our patients coming in for management and treatment of their bunions. A common question asked at our clinic is can bunions be on any toe? Can you treat them?
To start, bunions are deformities at the base of the big toe that can cause pain and disability — are common and can progress over time. Bunions may also appear on the 5th digit or your pinkie toe, which is called a Taylors bunion. The other digits may also develop deformities similar to bunions which resemble hammer or clawed toes which may cause pain or discomfort and may also limit the footwear you may wear due to the deformities.
Bunions and the lesser digit deformities are generally cause by an underlying cause further back in your foot which will cause your body to compensate by forming bunions and hammer toes.
Bunions can also be caused by shoes that are too small and can be assisted by stretching your shoes. Daniel offers some tips in the video below.
