What is a
Bunion?

A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe, usually the result of a misalignment and deformity on the joint. Affecting more than just the appearance of your feet, bunions can cause limited mobility, increased pain and deformity.

If a Bunion Has Formed, You Will Experience:
  • Pain and redness around the big toe joint
  • Hard bony swelling of the big toe joint
  • Corns or calluses where the big toe overlaps with the 2nd toe
  • Stiffness and restricted motion of big toe causing walking difficulties
If a Bunion Has Not Formed, But You:
  • Have foot deformities like flat feet
  • Regularly wear ill-fitting shoes such as high heels or narrow, pointed toe shoes
  • Suffer from medical conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or neuromuscular disorders
  • Have a family history of bunions

Having any of these can increase your risk of developing bunions!

Bunions can be unsightly, painful and uncomfortable, but they don’t have to be. Help is available. Reach us with your bunion concerns at +65 9898 7781 or hello@bjc.sg
