I've had bunions on both toes since birth and really want to avoid surgery are there any exercises or devices that could help correct them over time
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While congenital bunions (present since birth) are less responsive to conservative treatments than those that develop later in life, there are still exercises and devices that can help manage pain and potentially slow their progression. Focusing on strengthening foot muscles, improving toe movement, and using supportive devices can be beneficial.

View allI've had surgery for a foot corn before, but it seems like it's coming back. I'm really hoping to find a permanent solution for this. Is it possible to get rid of it for good with Homeopathy?
It is possible to treat foot corns with homeopathy, but it may require a personalized treatment plan from a skilled homeopath. Addressing the underlying cause, such as pressure or friction, along with constitutional remedies, can help in providing a more lasting solution. However, it's important to consult a professional for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

I've had flat feet in both legs since childhood and the pain is getting unbearable even standing for just 10 minutes leaves me in severe pain. It's affecting my gym workouts and sports because I can barely walk properly afterward. Are there any medicines or ointments that could give me temporary relief without needing surgery?
Flat foot pain may be reduced with orthotics, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatories—surgery only if severe deformity.
