| Bunion Pad |
| |
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 wearing better fitting shoes and/or by using a bunion pad or gel bunion pad. In severe cases, when bunion pain becomes hard to live with, The Podiatry Institute suggests you see a doctor to determine if a bunion pad is enough, or if corrective surgery might be needed to reduce bunion pain.

| Use a Bunion Pad 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:
- Buy well-fitting shoes with a wide toe box.
- Use a bunion pad (which also comes in gel bunion pad form) or bunion cushions to protect the bunion when wearing shoes.
- A bunion pad can prevent irritating a bunion by providing a barrier between the bunion and your shoe.
- You should use a bunion pad to help support your foot and reduce the tendency toward bunion formation.
- Utilize an orthotic device or insert, such as a bunion splint or bunion brace, to redistribute the pressure along the arch and ball of the foot and control the separation of the bones.
Please visit our product section to learn if a bunion pad, bunion brace, bunion sleeve etc. will work best to relieve your bunion pain.
