BUNIONS
/ ENLARGED JOINTS
(Hallux
Abducto Valgus)
A
bunion is a common term for a medical condition known as Hallux
Abducto Valgus. Hallux Abducto Valgus if the tilting of the toe away
from the mid-line of the body. It is usually characterised by a lump
or bump that is red, swollen and / or painful on the inside of the
foot in and around the big toe joint. There are many causes of
bunions such as hereditary factors but the primary one is tight,
ill-fitting shoes which constrict the forefoot over a long period of
time. High heels and constricting shoes are the primary causes of
Hallux Abducto Valgus.
There
are many things that you can do to lessen the pain associated with
this condition, certainly
the first line of defense for this condition is good supporting
shoes which have a wide toe box and a low heel. Useful treatments for
bunions are to use anti-inflammatory medications such as aspirin and
Ibuprofen gel/tablets, cold ice-pack compresses can be useful in
reducing any swelling.
To reduce the
pressure over the enlarged joint it is helpful to use items such as
reusable gel pads and adhesive paddings as well as orthotics (a
device to realign the mechanical dysfunction of the foot). In
conjunction with protective paddings, regular use of a good foot
cream helps to keep the skin soft and elastic.
Of
course if you have diabetes, vascular insufficiency, arthritis or a
neuropathy (where the sensation to the foot is diminished) immediate
care of a State Registered Chiropodist / Podiatrist is recommended.
Although
Cortisone injections and orthotics are helpful for this condition,
it is usually a surgical procedure (bunion surgery) which eradicates
the pain.
