Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Bunions can be treated non-surgically if they are not painfully. Some measures that can be taken are:
- Wear shoes that have a wide and deep toe box. This will provide room for comfort.
- Wear Foam and felt pads on foot to protect from bunion
- Sandles with correct toes spacers are also helpful.
- Avoid the activities that hurt your foot. Rest the foot often.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
