Pedorthic Myth: "I have painful bunions and my only option is to wait for surgery".

The team at Stand Your Ground is dedicated to keeping you well-informed about our world of orthotics, footwear and bracing... Which means it's time to debunk another Pedorthic Myth! 

Something we hear often: "I have painful bunions and my only option is to wait for surgery". Thankfully, surgery is not the only option to help with the pain! There are alternatives to help alleviate the pain caused by bunions or Hallux Abducto Valgus (HAV).

- Research shows that the use of custom foot orthotics OR off the shelf insoles that support the main arch of the foot, reducing the amount of pain associated with bunions and HAV.

- Bunion aligning sleeves, splints and separators can also be helpful in alleviating the pain and keeping your big toe aligned.

Stand Your Ground carries a variety of foot findings to help with conditions such as HAV. Get in touch by calling us at 613-384-3026 and make an appointment to discuss your options with one of our Canadian Certified Pedorthists.
