| A Bunion Regulator Can Provide Relief From Bunion Pain |
| |
A bunion is a bony protrusion of the great toe joint that can cause friction and pain when wearing shoes. Using a bunion regulator can provide great relief from bunion pain, especially if paired with better, well-fitting shoes that provide ample room for toes. (Look for shoes with a wide toe box.)
The Bort Bunion Regulator, for example – available on FootSmart.com – works overnight to tighten tendons and stretch toe muscles. A plastic brace on the bunion regulator straps your toe firmly in position, while soft foam soothes the tender area. Users can adjust the pad on the bunion regulator to provide the most protection, and secure the pad in place with a Velcro strap.
Any bunion regulator can be extremely effective at stretching tight tendons and toe muscles, so it’s important to use a bunion regulator if you have severe pain and want to avoid surgery.

| Do You Have a Bunion? |
| |
Bunion pain and other symptoms show up in a variety of ways.
- The first and most obvious indication that you have a bunion: Has your big toe changed shape? Does it seem to be curving inward toward the other toes? If so, you most likely have a bunion.
- Other symptoms of bunion pain include swelling, redness or pain of the joint at the base of the big toe.
As stated above, most people can find relief from bunion pain by wearing better shoes and/or by using a bunion regulator. The Podiatry Institute suggests you see a doctor to determine if a bunion regulator is doing enough to relieve pain, or if corrective surgery is needed.
