A Physio taught me a very simple exercise to correct the bent toe. It absolutely fixed my emerging bunion. You just flex the big toe SIDEWAYS ( out towards the other foot) repeatedly. I bet you can not do it initially, I had to move it with my hand until the brain remembered how to use that muscle. I do it for a few minutes every now and then in front of the TV, it strengthens the muscle that holds the toe straight. 🇦🇺 I wish I could attach a photo of my now nice straight big toes with no bunions.

[@courag1]

The likelihood of more than one problem with your foot is great and you may be in the process of developing other problems like I found out, after finally getting to see my podiatrist. So Google offers suggestions which I love. And my new Podiatrist was GREAT! Instantly hit it off. Many doctors are offended if you come in and know what your foot problem could be. My doc was very glad I was thinking and taking all the right vitamins and wanting to be able to continue walking. I came in wearing Hoka Athletic shoes and everyone was wowed that I had made the right choice! I looked up who sold the kind of shoes for my 2nd Metatarsal Capsulitis problem. I came with my x-rays and he was thrilled as I made them zoomable on my iPad. He even noticed I had had a healed fractured of 5th metatarsal from when I was a teenager! He was able to tell me why I was having pain and that my big toe was part of the problem and what to do about it. It isn’t a bunion, thank goodness. He’s trying to be a vegan. I’ve been eating this way for 10+ years so he was glad to hear my reasons for going vegan and glad to see a 71 year old lady who is at goal weight. The skin on my feet are also very healthy, and overall my health is excellent. Becoming vegan got me out of a wheelchair with gouty arthritis and being able to walk to me is a precious thing. I‘ve lost 80 lbs. from when I started. The number one person who can take the best care of our health is the patient themselves. Those who come in having learned about their foot can also understand which bones the doctor is talking about. But that is true of all parts of our health. If we eat the diet human beings were meant to eat, we have the best chance at staying healthy, even into our senior years. I love learning about how to heal and how to stay well. I was already taking the right supplements, pain killers and meds. The rest I do with my diet. I am on the road to putting my pain behind me. Feel good enough to take me and my new shoes on a walk! Went out and walked 1-1/2 today. Each day now add a few more blocks until I can walk the miles I like walking.

[@kayeszymanski6945]

Thank you! Do you have advice or non-surgical solution for eliminating bunionette at outer foot?

[@DrTomBiernacki]

Truth Be Told, we really hope that you feel better and thanks for watching our video! In general, treatment of bunionettes is almost always non-surgical. The most basic are changing shoes, especially to shoes that are wider at the toes or wearing sandals. Wider shoes can alleviate the discomfort of bunionnettes. Pads are also available to ease the pain. We're sorry to hear about your problem and we really hope you feel better soon! Just remember to see your podiatrist in person if you are not feeling better in the future!

[@SandeepTheVoice]

@@DrTomBiernacki I have a swelling in a part of the foot that is neither plantar fascitis, nor the flexor hallucis. It's been there for months now. It feels better on resting, but hurts a lot if I stand for long or walk for long. If I walk fast, the left side bottom of my foot hurts terribly. Left side when you look down on your left foot, from the little toe going downwards towards the heel. The pain subsides after I rest. Any idea what category of foot problems does this fall under?

[@SandeepTheVoice]

I think that part is called the lateral arch or may be lateral plantar.

Was also taking vit K2 for the calcium buildup in my shoulder and it turned out it took the calcium out of my toe as well. Learning to walk correctly and using k2 to get rid of the calcium in the area allowed it to dissolve and within a couple of weeks I felt my boot was big in the area where the bunion had been.

Could you address the concept of the barefoot shoe? They constantly talk about how this strengthens the muscles of the feet and allows the toes to splay. But over pronation would lead to this exact issue. Also do you think glute med weakness contributes here?

[@DrTomBiernacki]

Absolutely, I will have a video out soon regarding the topic. Barefoot shoes can be really good if you are already healthy, or if you have joint, knee or hip issues. But with people with already flat feet, painful feet, or people who want faster athletic performance they are not the ideal shoe. I share more in depth soon!

How does a splint remove calcification?

[@DrTomBiernacki]

Calcification is hallux rigidus, or osteoarthritis, generally this is a separate condition from a bunion.

[@DrTomBiernacki]

We do have videos on that as well!

[@shawnsb7583]

These work! But keep away bunions by wearing toe separators in your closed end shoes!

When my knee is in and my foot is out like you did it, I can bend my toe up. Why?

[@dtraveler3080]

I have read comments saying someone had bunion surgery and now not only can’t they keep their toe down, but their gait is off and they cannot balance on that foot.🤷🏻‍♂️

[@tdogmom6128]

What is your thought on 5 finger barefoot shoes? I had surgery on both feet in which failed pretty quick after cast was removed. Thanks for the video I’ll have to check out more of your videos.

[@DrTomBiernacki]

T Dog Mom, thanks for the great response! Barefoot shoes are in general great for feet and knees, however they should come from reputable compony. Avoid chip fakes imitating reputable brands. I grateful for your kinds words about our video. If possible, we would appreciate a quick and easy rating from you, and a good rating makes a BIG difference for us! g.page/r/CZWo3fJqJrVpEBM/review Thanks again for watching! All the best to you!

Its difficult for me to wear shoes

I can't bend any of my toes the Dr talked me into cutting all my tendons to supposedly fix my hammer toes

[@johnpickett8533]

I'm not sure what I have. I suspect gout. Looks bunion-esque. I flex with my hands and do some of the stretching techniques you've done for bunions. Plus ,it tends to hurt at night. The tendon on top of the great toe on my right foot doesn't raise up like on my left foot when I flex my toe up. It seems like it's fusing into the bone. But the more I move it with my hand the more mobility I get. The pain ebbs and flows,nothing seems to give it actual pain relief. Sometimes I just want to smash it with a hammer,I'm sure that's not a great idea. I don't wear tight shoes ,I very great support ,toes fit comfortably. Any thoughts?

[@sandilobianco6734]

John Pickett, To find out if it’s gout, request your uric acid levels be tested when getting blood work done.

How about Hallux Valgus

[@DrTomBiernacki]

Hallux valgus is the medical term for a bunion!

[@dieterfellnerdpm5061]

Having scoured the scientific literature for 30+ years, I wait, with bated breath, on the arrival of the first scientific paper to confirm that a bunion prone foot with/without inserts and stuff stuck on the toes can reverse a bunion deformity. I had hoped, at least, for the citations and references to appear in the description box. I will love to see long term audits of bunion patients, with radiographic evidence. And, pray tell, how would that person squeezing their feet into tight, high heel with pointed toe box accommodate the gel spacers.....🥳🤯

[@DrTomBiernacki]

Well you're watching the wrong video because I state the opposite of what you are anticipating me stating 😁. I ask you what financial incentive would anyone have to undertake such a exhaustive study 😁, it would be the self inflicted downfall of expensive hospital bunionectomies and the orthopedic foot & ankle specialty 😅 if they proved that.

[@DrTomBiernacki]

But that being said I 100% agree with you. For me orthotics and good shoes are like parachutes, you will never get a good double blind prospective study, but it just makes sense and we see it with our own eyes every day.

[@dieterfellnerdpm5061]

@@DrTomBiernacki Tom, I know you do. And, for the sake of completeness, the failure of an orthotic to manage bunion deformity was elegantly shown in a landmark PhD study of juvenile bunions and foot orthotics. The outcome: orthoses worsened the progress of deformity (a little). There are researchers from countries other than US who can pursue such work unburdened by the 'business' model of medicine found in the US. There is more to unpack, but this is not the place for that. As an aside I enjoy the content you produce!
