Is there a cure for Bunions?

A bunion is a localized area of enlargement of the inner portion of the metatarsophalangeal joint at the base of the big toe.

Bunions is often the result of a foot disorder known as hallux valgus , in which the the great toe is positioned toward the midline of the body. this condition has also been associated with Rheumatoid arthritis. A flat foot also contributes to hallux valgus and the development of a bunion is because of the fallen or dropped logitudinal arch of the foot. The wearing of improperly fitting or high healed shoes aggravates this condition.

Treatment can include wearing shoes with a roomy "toe box" to avoid crowding the toes together, wearing shoes with lower heals, using padding between the toes or around the bunion to relieve pressure, applying ice to the bunion will reduce the inflammation and lessen the pain, and resting the affected joints.
Medications given for conditions include analgecis-antipyretic such as aspirin and acetaminophen are given for pain. Intraarticular (joint) injections of corticosteroid may be helpful.

There are many different procedures for treatment or correction of hallux valgus a Bunionectomy, osteotomy, and arthroplasty are the more common procedures.
