Bunions and Corns
Say goodbye to bunion and corn pain with a simple solution – switch up your footwear. Insoles and orthotics are your new best friends for alleviating discomfort and restoring comfort to your daily routine.
Bunions
A “bunion” is the name for an enlarged bony bump located behind the big toe at the joint where it attaches to the foot. Typically, they’re caused by an inherited faulty mechanical structure of the foot.
A bunion can throw foot bones out of alignment and be painful due to pressure or arthritis. They can disrupt the natural balance of the foot, leading to unwanted pressure on the toes, sole, or heel, which can result in the formation of corns or calluses.
Corns
A “corn” is a growth of skin which forms typically on a bony prominence as a response to abnormal pressure or friction.
Corns and calluses form as a natural defense mechanism of the skin against friction or pressure, leading to the accumulation of thick, hardened skin layers.
