See below: Wear shoes that don't apply pressure to the bunion. Try a bunion splint. If swollen use ice to the area. Try taking aleve (naproxen).

There are a variety: Non surgical treatment can address the symptoms of the bunion defromity, but will not correct the deformity. Conservative care consists of wider, more comfortable shoe gear with good support. Custom orthotics are very useful in controlling abnormal foot function, which allows the bunion to progress. Padding can help. Surgical intervention is many times the end treatment. Dr l.

Many options.: Treatment options for the management of bunions include conservative and surgical management. 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.
