I am not aware of a Chiropractor treating bunions as a solution.
Hello, Unfortunately chiropractors do not treat bunions. However, any spinal related issues that could be contributing to the bunions we can treat.
Hi there, YES, chiropractors can help with bunions. Bunions form because of faulty mechanics in the foot, we help improve those mechanics to prevent any further change to the foot and can help alleviate the pain bunions cause.

Hello, Not specifically, yet correcting the misaligned spinal structure can help to eliminate bunions.
Chiropractic Care: Easing Bunion Pain & Discomfort Bunion (hallux valgus)a condition where the joint at the base of the big toe shifts out of placeis not only painful but also can lead to severe discomfort. This joint, responsible for supporting body weight while walking, is prone to misalignment due to abnormal pressure & motion. Bunions, often hereditary, can also result from walking patterns & footwear choices. Dr. Neill points out that woman are more susceptible, especially with age. Flexibility in joints seems to provide some tolerance, while stiff joints or arthritis exacerbate the pain & could lead to earlier onset. Bunions need not always necessitate surgery. Dr. Neill presents a range of alternatives to ease discomfort & potentially slow the condition's progression: 1. *Custom Orthotics:* Tailored shoe inserts position the foot correctly, alleviating pressure. 2. *Appropriate Footwear:* Well-fitting shoes with ample toe space are essential. 3. *Chiropractic Interventions:* Chiropractic adjustments of the feet can increase movement & align affected bones. 4. *Protective Measures:* Gel-filled pads or moleskin may be helpful. 5. *Night Splints:* Wearing splints at night, with professional guidance, may provide relief. 6. *Physiotherapy:* Therapeutic ultrasound, interferential current, dry needling, heat or ice packs & massage decrease pain. 7. *Weight Management:* Maintaining a healthy weight reduces pressure
Hi, Yes, chiropractors can absolutely help with bunions but we would recommend seeing a podiatrist first. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks and have a great day, Mandy
