Suggest Proaction To Prevent Bunion On Left Foot

Hi, my 14 yr old daughter dances ballet, jazz, modern etc 6 days a week and she has bunions that are beginning to bother her, especially her left foot. I want to know what we can be doing proactively (proper walking shoes, wrapping her feet for dance...anything that may help alleviate her discomfort. Also, I ve considered taking her to a sports podiatrist for a consultation and I am looking for a reputable one in our area. I appreciate any insight you can lend. Tracy
