Bunions can cause constant foot pain, swelling, and difficulty walking, so choosing the right bunion treatment is important. In Singapore, patients often start with non-surgical bunion treatment such as custom insoles, bunion splints, physiotherapy, or footwear modification. These methods help relieve pressure on the joint, slow down deformity, and reduce pain during daily activities. However, when conservative care is not effective and the toe continues to bend inward, foot bunion surgery becomes a recommended option.
Modern bunion surgery treatment options are safer, smaller in incision, and have faster recovery times compared to the past. Procedures such as minimally invasive bunion surgery correct the bone alignment with very tiny cuts, leading to less pain and quicker mobility. For more severe cases, traditional open surgery is used to straighten the toe and restore proper foot function. Foot bunion surgery can improve stability, reduce long-term pain, and prevent the bunion from worsening.
