No: There is really no bracing or straps to reverse or slow the deformity.

No, but...: There are other ways to treat such as padding, wider shoes, physical therapy or orthotics. Although none of these treatments correct the deformity, in some cases they may provide adequate relief.

Conservative care: Conservative management options include use of orthotic devices, change in shoe wear, medications such as oral no-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids), steroid injections, padding of corns and calluses, and splinting and strapping.

Bunion surgery.: Unfortunately, there are no braces or exercises to get rid of a bunion. If you elect to have it surgically removed, there are several ways your surgeon could go about it. Depending on the angle of your bones (you'll need an x-ray), there are many different procedures to choose from to correct your foot.
