"Say Goodbye to Bunions with This Clever Physical Therapy Trick"

Physical therapist Dr Aaron Horschig suggests using toe spacers, such as Correct Toes, to prevent and treat bunions. By widening the top of the foot, these plastic or foam devices can help realign the toes with the metatarsals, reducing the angle of existing bunions and alleviating pain. Research supports their effectiveness, with a study showing that wearing toe spacers for eight months improved flexibility and reduced pain in women with moderate bunions. Dr Horschig also recommends wearing shoes with a wide toe box to allow the toes to spread out and reverse the negative effects of narrow footwear.
