How can i treat (or possibly cure) a bunion?

See below.: Only way to get rid of a bunion is with surgery since this is a structural deformity. Other non-surgical treatments are wider shoes, orthotics, padding. In some instances an occasional injection may help reduce pain and inflammation, although this should be only done sparingly.

You can't : Bunions are structural deformities secondary to genetics and foot function. Improving foot function with good shoes and supports can help slow down the progression of the deformity. Surgical intervention will probably be needed at some point. Discuss with your foot specialist. Dr l.

Surgery: If your having bunion pain and can not find shoes that don't hurt, then surgical correction would be indicated.
