Nice job. But misleading title stating “correctors and splints”. As we know these do not really work.

Thank you! I noticed the start a bunion on my left foot so I am going to start doing these tips to keep it from getting big. Right now, no one would even notice it but I can and I do feel pain sometimes but not always. Hoping a great pair of shoes will help too.

This was a great video! Thank you so much for the information. Your recommendations really helped my mother.

I've recently had lapiplasty bunion surgery, the best bunion surgery option out there in my opinion, and am making update videos if you're interested

Could you comment on the effects of losing the laterail arch in the ball of the foot? I'm 57 years old, male, 5'-11" 180 lbs, and orthotics user for past 15 years and now have chronic pain from bunion in my right great toe. I'm using the two toe gel spacer which seems to relieve the pain. I've had Xrays and been examined by my GP and Podiatrist. My podiatrist is attempting to increase the arch of my foot lateraly accross the ball where the first metatarsals join the toes. This seems to make sense to me, if this lateral arch fails then the big and little MTP joints will be forced appart causing the bunions. Likely we'll get orthotics retooled to increase the lateral arch. Also can this be corrected without surgery, in your opinion? Below is the clinical diagnosis of the Xrays. INTERPRETATION: 1. No fracture or suspicious osseous abnormality 2. Mild hallux valgus angulation with mild osteoarthritis at the MTP Joint.

Awesome vid. Love your energy!

Not many people can get energized about foot problems!

I have Hallus Valgus in the beginner stage. It has a rare and very small occasional pain. So I do not need a cream or any other pain reliev. But how can I slow down it's development at this early stage?? I have purchased an insole and have been wearing it for several months, but I feel it is progressing a bit. Should I have an individual insole made? Thanks

Hey doc I just come across ur video and my problem is I don’t have the bunion on my toes but on my heel, I have been using some medicated bandage that let the dead skin drop off. I have been using them for years and they have become bit smaller. I don’t want to have a bulge forever what can I use for me heal?

I don't have pain from my bunion but it sometimes makes walking feel a little unnatural. In my case I should not go for surgery, correct? Is it still helpful to go to a specialist in my case, to ask for more specialized corrective equipment or would I be okay with just wearing a standard gel pad by myself?

To anyone watching this and it claims it helps avoid having bunion surgery is the worst statement to make having people believe that this stuff corrects bunions. Its untrue. These steps only help lessen the pain in some people but if you have a bunion or bunions you will end up needing surgery anyways because bunions are your bones being misaligned and twisting and crowding the other toe next to it. Nobody wants surgery but in this case it is necessary because you will end up with severe damage which will result in more of an aggressive fixing of screws and what I call plate brackets, which also means a longer recovery of several weeks plus. If you do something about it early you can have a very minimal surgery to fix it that only involves 2 to 3 5mm holes being made instead of a huge top cut or side cuts which is more painful and more thickening scare tissue. Even if a person isnt feeling pain, you should still find a doctor who can do the less invasive surgery which can be achieved in a quick 20 minutes. And if you need proof I will be glad to provide the names and videos of such procedures that many doctors have been doing for more then 30 years. Dont wait, because you will be making it worse even for those that dont feel pain yet. I understand that this doc may have good intentions when making this video but avoiding getting your bone realigned properly early is a big mistake.

I've recently had lapiplasty bunion surgery, the best bunion surgery option out there in my opinion, and am making update videos if you're interested

So happy I saw this

I have very high arches from what I was told which is causing my hallux rigidus. Is that the same thing as a bunion?

Bit late of a reply for you but no hallux rigidus is not the same. If it is true rigidus stiff rocker bottom shoes help the foot glide through the correct movement.

Yeah but, what is the difference between Bunion and Gout! Gout attack the same joint, and can be mistaken for bunion!

I have surgery to get rid of my bunions best choice

Marks of surgery gone?

Well I had bunions for several years with no pain but after 10 years it is time to fix them. I moved back to a humid climate 3 1/2 years ago and they immediately began to hurt. I then had to take a job on my feet but have not worn heels in 45 years, really got the right shoes immediately! Mine are just hereditary and I am a very petite lady so I can't lose weight to make them feel better. I wear the right shoes and have tried what you suggest. They don't look bad but are easily visible of course and I know I have to do surgery now. I did have four children and that probably didn't help my feet when I was younger. My twin sister had only two children but her bunions are way worse! I also read if you wait longer it is a tougher surgery. I figure I better do it before they get as bad as my twins.

😄 you cannot call your video "treatment" or "correction".It's misleading.

Why because it doesn't give an instant solution that fixes all problems immediately through exaggerations and fake promises? The point is that this costly stuff is proven not to give the instant solutions they claim. Save your money and follow the reliable solutions.

There are plenty of bunion home remedy videos out there claiming not eating salt will solve the problem, I guess that counts!
