Bunion Cushion
 
A bunion is a bony protrusion of the great toe joint that can cause friction and pain when wearing shoes. For most people, relief from bunion pain can be achieved by taking certain precautionary measures, like wearing better shoes and/or by using a bunion cushion. In severe cases, when bunion pain becomes hard to live with, The Podiatry Institute suggests you see a doctor to determine if something other than a bunion cushionsis needed to relieve bunion pain.
 
Use a Bunion Cushion to Relieve and Prevent Bunion Pain
 
Find bunion relief by making some simple adjustments to your shoes. Shop for shoes in the afternoon to account for any natural swelling, and purchase well-fitting shoes with a wide toe box to best find relief from intense bunion pain.

Also follow these steps to help treat bunion pain:
  • Use a bunion cushion to protect the bunion when wearing shoes.
  • Utilize an orthotic device or insert, such as a bunion splint or bunion brace – along with your bunion cushion – to redistribute the pressure along the arch and ball of the foot. A bunion cushion can help support your foot and reduce the tendency toward bunion formation.
  • Use a bunion regulator to stretch tight tendons and toe muscles overnight – especially if you want to avoid surgery.
