Bunion treatment

 

What Are the Causes and Risk Factors for Bunions?

Bunions develop gradually for a variety of reasons and the exact causes of this foot condition have yet to be determined. However, there are several factors that seem to correlate with hallux valgus development. Some people are more prone to bunions because of their genes.

Contrary to popular belief, improper shoes are not the main cause. But they can increase the risk of bunions development and make the issue worse. This is especially true for women who are used to wearing shoes with pointed toes or high heels. On the other hand, some people wear tight shoes on a daily basis and never get bunions.

The most common risk factors for bunions are:

  • Genetics. Certain foot types seem to be more susceptible to bunion development.
  • Trauma. Foot injuries or heavy stress to the feet can eventually lead to bunions.
  • Congenital disabilities. Many bunion sufferers had foot deformities present at birth without seeking help from a pediatric podiatrist.
  • Gender. While men are not immune, bunions tend to appear more frequently on women.
  • Shoes. High heels push your toes into the front of the shoe, where they’re compressed together. Narrow, tight-fitting shoes cause the same problem.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis. A chronic inflammatory disorder in your joints, rheumatoid arthritis frequently leads to foot bunions.
  • Polio. Among other problems, this serious neuromuscular condition often causes bunions.

Achilles Tendon Surgery NJ

Image
  You may have seen a player getting escorted off the field at a sporting event due to an injury. If the injury was a torn Achilles tendon, you know how bad it can be. That athlete is most likely being taken to surgery to repair the tear. He won’t be playing for months while it heals. If you’re active and begin to feel pain in the back of your ankle, visit Dr. Velimir Petkov, DPM, for Achilles tendonitis treatment. Your podiatrist can begin a program of rehabilitation. If you have pain, see a foot doctor before you get carted off on a stretcher in extreme pain. Call Clifton, NJ podiatrist’s office for an appointment, even on short notice.
