18 Oct Are bunion pads effective?

Do you suffer from bunion pain? If so, you may be wondering if bunion pads are effective in reducing the pain and discomfort. In this blog post, we will explore whether or not bunion pads work and discuss other non-surgical treatment options available at our Sydney bunion clinic.

Are bunion pads effective?

The short answer is no they usually aren’t unfortunately. Bunion pads are often recommended by non-podiatrists as a conservative treatment for bunions. They act to offload the bunion joint and take pressure off the painful area. Whilst this may offer some temporary relief, they do not actually treat the underlying cause of the bunion deformity.

At our Sydney Bunion Clinic, we always aim to provide our patients with the most effective non-surgical treatments available. We believe that surgery should only be considered when all other options have failed. If you are looking for an effective non-surgical treatment for your bunions, we recommend seeking advice from one of our experienced podiatrists.

If you are suffering from bunion pain, we encourage you to make an appointment at our Sydney Bunion Clinic today. Our experienced podiatrists will assess your condition and develop a treatment plan that is tailored specifically for you. We offer a wide range of non-surgical treatment options that are proven to be effective in treating bunions. Contact us today to book an appointment.

The other issue with bunion pads is they usually make the discomfort form your bunion in the shoe worse. They create too much bulk in the shoe and create more pressure unfortunately. This tend to squish everything into the shoe and cause more pain.

Is there anything else I can do other than bunion surgery?

Yes, at Sydney bunion clinic we have been treating bunions for over 21 years through conservative management.
