A bunion (hallux valgus) is an enlargement of the bone or tissue around a joint at the base of the big toe or at the base of the little toe (in which case it is called a bunionette or tailor's bunion). Bunions often occur when the joint is stressed over a prolonged period.
Nonsurgical treatments that may relieve the pain and pressure of a bunion include: 1  Changing shoes. Wear roomy, comfortable shoes that provide plenty of space for your toes. 2  Padding and taping or splinting. Use over-the-counter, nonmedicated bunion pads. 3  Medications.
