Bunion Treatment with Foot Mobilisation Therapy

Most people think that surgery is the only treatment when it comes to bunions; however, foot mobilisation is extremely successful. Foot mobilisation helps to address the underlying cause, improving the way that someone stands and walks as well as straightening the big toe. Conservative management, such as foot mobilisation, is recommended as early as possible, even if the sufferer feels no pain. At AFS we are the only practice to work exclusively in foot mobilisation. We have seen 1000’s of Bunions over the last 15 years.

There are some huge risks and costs associated with bunion surgery. In fact one study suggests that 30% of people that have bunion surgery are unhappy with their results. Unfortunately we see people through our clinic all the time that are unhappy with their bunion surgery. That’s not to say that in some cases bunion surgery may be indicated or get a positive result however there are always risks as well as significant cost compared to conservative management approaches such as ours.

The up side to foot mobilisation treatment for a bunion is that it doesn’t hurt, comparatively cheap, time efficient, and you can still remain active and wear whatever shoes you like.

I m going to show you a before and after picture from a study published measuring the effect of foot mobilisation on a bunion.

This picture is measuring the bunion from the article that is 28 degrees. A straight toe with no bunion is 15 degrees.

The study was conducted with the patient receiving foot mobilisation regularly over a 12 week period.

This is the after effects where the bunion has changed from 28 degrees and is now down to 16 degrees. And the great thing is we would expect the toe to straighten further down to 15 degrees.

What is a bunion?

Bunions are a deviation of the big toe where the big toe joint shifts toward the middle of the foot. This can be accompanied by symptoms including pain and a bony growth that turns into a large lump.

Research shows that bunions are extremely prevalent in Australia, affecting ⅓ of the population. Over the age of 60, it’s suggested to be as high as 70%. When left untreated bunions can also be linked to other risks and complications.

Bunions are caused by a number of factors including a family history of bunions, footwear choices and the way you stand and walk, however misalignment of the foot is often the underlying cause.

How is a bunion treated?

You may have been told that bunion surgery is the only treatment option available however, there is an non surgical treatment for bunions . We have worked treating bunion without surgery for over 20 years.

Conservative management, such as foot mobilisation, is most effective when treatment of the bunion begins as early as possible, even if the sufferer feels no pain. As a result, often by the time a bunion starts to be painful, significant irreversible damage has already occurred.
