Tailors Bunion
At its core, a Tailors Bunion is a bony prominence that forms at the little toe base. The toe may start to deviate towards the others, and overtime, this misalignment can cause a painful and swollen lump. Patients who have this condition may complain about symptoms such as inflammation, pain, redness, and difficulty fitting into regular shoes because of the extending bump. Understandably, this can put a damper on physical activity, whether that is a leisurely walk or more intensive sports. Before you start considering the more drastic measures, there may be non-surgical treatments we can offer you. To learn more about how we can treat your bunions, contact our team today!
Many of us are familiar with what bunions look like, which is a bump that forms along the big toe. But you can develop bunions on other toes as well. No matter where the bunion grows, it can become a significant source of pain and discomfort. The most common cause of Tailors Bunions is from direct pressure being applied to the metatarsal bone. Patients may inherit the bone structure from their family and make them more likely to develop this type of bunion. Other contributing factors may include tight calf muscles, loose foot ligaments, or feet that lean outward. These bunions may progress over time, starting with a small bump on the metatarsal bone or base of the pinkie toe. If you have questions about how we can treat your bunions, reach out to reserve your examination appointment!
