    I'm using silicone toe spreaders or a splint. Once the toes get use to it, the big toe toe will stop fighting with it's own muscle memory and begin to move back. It actually works. This will take more time to correct the damage already done over the years. Buy wide boots or shoes that fit comfy and the foot can move from side to side without any toe squeezing. Toe socks do not work for this method. Continue using toe spreaders or splint each evening for a few hours and remove if discomfort begins. Repeat process each night or every other night as your toes will begin to adjust. Try to catch this before it gets too severe and need surgery. Surgery cuts nerve endings in the bottom of your foot and causes a permanent numbness that is uncomfortable. Foot doctors may not tell you this and you will have to live with it for the rest of your life. Try to avoid surgery if possible.

      😮 I imagine nerve damage in feet negates any benefits of good toe spacing that might improve balance, and just replaces that issue with a new one of lack of/inadequate sensation... Not to mention a long time with strange cold/burning electrical pains that can recur years on. Nerves take an age to heal or re-map, if not at all.
      I had experience of colectomy to remove a tumor. The surgeon thought "saving my life" was sufficient not to have to warn me about 45% risk of pudendal nerve damage, in my case, 5 years ago... nor the LARS that affects bowel cancer survivors for the rest of their life. It takes a long time to heal, manage and adapt to a "new normal".
      My experience of hip surgery at RNOH was much more positive. It depends a lot on the consultant, the hospital culture, and essentially their patient attitude.
      Their experience of your condition is often very academic, and they have little idea of how their intervention affects you long after you leave hospital.
      They assume you'll have read it in the pre surgery literature, or accept it when you sign consent forms

    Excellent video. This really was full of the basic information that explains the causes of bunions and crowded toes. Then the basic methods to correctly help treat and resolve these problems is so well explained. I'm a Physician Assistant, practice > 45 years and have seen thousands of patients with these problems and had no real idea of how to address them, except for wider box toe shoes and referral to a Podiatrist. My wife, who started Ballet training as a young girl, had terrible hallux valgus/bunions and trouble finding any shoes she could wear without pain. These well explained methods would have really helped her and my previous patients!! Thank you!!!

Someone saw me doing this once and it sort of freaked them out seeing my toes spreading out-they commented to me, and I said I didn't even realize I was doing it! How neat!
    I'll try these new exercises. Thank you for this video. I have more to learn!

    New subscriber here! My bunion had almost torn through the flesh and I had to get surgery to file the bone and loosen the flesh on the inside of the big toe. The bone has grown back (almost 35 years since the surgery!) but mostly manageable. Except during the rainy season or cold weather when it hurts and often gets inflamed. I wore a bunion brace for years but now a toe spreader helps most of the time. I mostly wear open sandals with a toe separator stump but I will check out the barefoot shoes. Thanks, Lajo

    I went barefoot much of the time until my mid 20’s. Even with flat feet, I had no other foot issues and enough dexterity in my toes to tie and untie shoelaces. Now in my 60’s, after way more shoe wearing, my feet aren’t so good. The last few years I found the most comfortable has been quality sandals year round. I live in Canada so, yes, even in the snow. I’ve only recently heard of barefoot shoes and will be watching your review of the best ones for bunions.

    I see you didn’t mention genetics as a possible reason. My grandma, my mom and now I all have it.
    I can assure you my grandma and even my mom never worn narrow shoes. They grew up on a farm and back in the day in Eastern Europe shoes were very simple.
    Neither of them had flat feet or walked weirdly.
    I can only check the box for occasional pointy shoes. Yet we all have it…I believe genetics play a part too.

      He did say acquired flat feet, which I would say acquired by genetics. My mom overpronated, and my arches totally flatten and feet pronate. My mom's sister probably did too as she had bad bunions. My mother also had hammer toes and other foot problems. My dad's feet were great, and I seem to be in the middle between them for foot problems.

On top of this I have overly flexible ankles which allowed for sunken arches. I have also been playing soccer in tight cleats since u was 4 so 14 years. Needless to say I’ve had bunions since before I was seven.

    I've recently seen a newer surgical technique for fixing bunions. Instead of the older bunionectomy surgery, this new technique uses small plates to correct the unstable big toe joint. According to what I read, some of the newest evidence points to unstable toe joints as being a primary cause of bunions. As opposed to earlier beliefs that the pushing out of the big toe bones was the primary cause of bunions. Thank you for your information, as I'm sure it can all be used together along with the newest understandings of bunions to help curb and repair bunions. Preferably without surgery all together.

For years I took great care regarding shoes, being a single parent for 30 yrs, I wasn't really paying attention and recently found none of my shoes really fit the high standard I used to have, hence the bunion. A toe spacer is helping, but I think now I'm gonna separate EVERYONE. Will be checking out the shoes and work on going barefoot around the house

      when I was in my 30s I start having a lot of bunions pain especially at night resting I try to avoid at all cost wearing high heels so I went online did my research and I found this things call Gel toes separators and they have been my saving grace I wear them every day I wear them at night for a long time and my pain went away I did what I could to keep the pain a way now I’m 50 and my thought is pretty straight doesn’t have a deformity and I keep wearing those things all the time With another new products that have come in the market for the same thing.

    And on both my toes I have bunions... Loads of great information that I will incorporate..Thank you!

    This is so helpful. I've had a foot phobia since I was a little kid, which led to me wearing shoes and socks pretty much at all times. As well as having a really big shoe size but wearing a few sizes too small for a long time. I've had an operation, but the bunion just came back. It's nice to know there's another way to solve the problem.

    I'm so glad I found this channel. I have bunions, heel spurs, and had plantar fasciitis at one point in time. I noticed something was wrong with my ankles when I started practicing yoga and the same exercise you suggested to straighten your ankles was a yoga pose I was struggling with. After a week I was able to maintain balance but I will admit some weeks after I still have not perfected it. Now that you have explained this in detail I understand now how my ankles contributed to collapsed arches and how it exacerbated the issues I have with my bunions. I also think that my knees are a bit inverted which also contributes to this problem. I definitely look forward to your program.

Wouldn't want to interfere with a doctor who might have stocks in the toe spreader manufacturing...but Have you not heard of wide cotton SHOE STRINGS, PEOPLE ?

Nice SAFETY tip, too, yes / One day when my car stopped blocks away from the nearest off ramp and phone on the 210 Freeway at night; and we didn't have cell phones... I HAD TO RUN IN HEELS?
      Better to be SAVE than SEXY people! Carry those sexy shoes and put em on later! (Or get smart and just don't wear those at ALL!

This confirms to me that post surgical binding to remove calluses and reduce the bunion has only accelerated the hallux valgus.

    Very interesting to learn that my restricted ankles (twisted one too many times after 40) have lead to the fallen arches, which were a problem early in life as they were too high for school shoes. I only wear sock and closed in shoes in the 3/4 months of winter her in Perth. I have a slight bunion so was wanting to fix that and so hence your video which will also help with the fallen arches and stiff ankles. Thanks the video and the lovey baby footage (pun intended 😉).

    Focusing on placing your feet straight helped me deal with back pain from my scoliosis. It is also pretty incredible to try and focus on pushing yourself away from the backfoot, instead of only thinking about the front foot landing - it can make you surprisingly faster and shift a lot of strain from the thighs onto the calves and ankles. :)
