Do You Have a Bunion?

Bunions, also known as hallux abducto valgus (HAV), are a very common problem, especially among women. Shoes can sometimes cause and contribute to the problem, but heredity also plays a big role in the development of bunions. Treatment may be as simple as wearing wider shoes. If the bunion is very painful and limits your activities, surgery may be needed. Learn more about the causes, symptoms and treatment options for bunions.
