A member asked:
Dr. recommends i spend $600 for orthotics. a bunion on my right foot has grown back after surgical removal about 15 years ago. the bunion is pushing the big toe into the next toe and causing pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I am afraid to say custom orthotics do not prevent bunion formation. Orthotics can help with hallux limitus , a limited range of motion big toe. Allowing plantarflexion of the first metatarsal. As for Buions it is impossible to prove. If your buion returned after 15 years I would have the surgery to correct. Procedures have changed in 15 years
