Can a bunion make your whole foot hurt?

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/treatment of their bunions, we get asked regularly can bunions make your whole foot hurt?

Bunions are deformities at the base of the big toe that can cause pain and disability — are common and can really slow a person down.

So to answer this question, Yes a person with bunions were more likely to experience pain in their whole foot  but also in other parts of their body, including the hip, knee and even lower back.

Bunions may also affect gait, balance, and increase risk of falls in older people,  but one of the major implications bunions have on the whole foot is that there is trouble finding shoes they like to wear that don’t cause pain to the foot .Not only that , but as a bunion gets worse, it may also cause hammertoes or crossover toes, or pain in the ball of the foot, called metatarsalgia.

Worst case scenario the misalignment in your big toe can lead to painful osteoarthritis. This can limit the movement in the big toe and cause long term problems not just in the big toe but also affect knees and hips.

The most common concern over a bunion getting worse is that your only option may end up being surgery. Bunion surgery is very involved and can be costly. If your bunion gets to an advanced stage surgery may be the only option, the difficulty with this is that whist surgery can be successful in advanced stages recovery and the pain and swelling associated with recovery is significant.

Fear not though, because here at Sydney Bunion Clinic we treat all sorts of foot pain and help patients to achieve their fitness and health goals pain free.

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.
