Myths & Misconceptions About Bunions

Myth: Fix Bunion by surgery

Myth: Surgery is the only way to truly fix a bunion

Not true. Research (2009 FERRARI et al, Interventions for treating hallux valgus (abductovalgus) and bunions Cochrane Library) has shown that surgical outcomes can be poor, with over 30% of bunion surgeries considered unsuccessful by the patients. In the vast majority of cases we recommend nonsurgical treatment for bunions. It is usually only required if the bony lump gets too big or if the joint has degenerated too much.

Myth: Bunions cannot be reversed

Yes, they can. We do it all the time with noninvasive bunion treatment techniques like foot mobilisation. That can correct the alignment of the big toe.

Check out this before and after picture from a study using foot mobilisation to treat a bunion, showing how you can successfully reverse a bunion and straighten your toe.

Myth: Bunion are similar to gout

Myth: Bunions are similar to gout

They are not all that similar. Gout is the build-up of uric acid that affects the joints and is very commonly noticed in the 1st MTPJ on the foot. Gout and bunions aren’t really related to each other aside from the fact that they affect the same joint and are commonly misdiagnosed for each other.

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.
