Bunion Aid Splint - This product is a type of splint, which is designed for holding the big toe in a straighter position. It can be worn while walking or while at rest or sleeping. However, some people may find it uncomfortable to wear while walking. If worn , this device and other bunion splints may help resist some of the soft tissue contracture that came with a bunion. For some, this may be beneficial for alleviating the pain and inflammation which occurs in response to this soft tissue stress. How Can we Maximize the Benefits of Wearing a Splint? Bunion surgery is an expensive option that requires a long recovery period. A splint will realign the foot and take pressure off the toes, reducing bunion pain. If you want to maximize the pain-reducing benefits of wearing a splint, try these tips. Ice your bunions with an ice pack before and after using your splint to reduce inflammation Cortisone shots or pain medication (discuss these options with your doctor) Wear shoe inserts to evenly distribute pressure when walking as this can help take the pressure off bunions that contributes to pain Wear splints in short bursts, especially when lounging, to gradually increase the amount of time you’re able to wear them if you are experiencing discomfort When to Consider Bunion Surgery Over Treatment Splint Splints are designed to relieve pain, not cure your bunions. The only way to truly “cure” bunions is through surgery. However, surgery is typically reserved as an option for people who have extremely severe bunion pain- pain that has severely cramped a person's lifestyle. The items include: 2 x bunion Splints
