ARE YOUR EVERYDAY WORK HEELS CAUSING YOU DISTRESS?

High heels look fabulous, but they could be the cause of unwanted pain, and worse bunions.

Wearing fabulous footwear can sometimes cause excruciating pain as bunions may form. However, thanks to a new minimally invasive technique, you'll soon be up and strutting your stuff again. If your toes are feeling a little squashed in those stilettos, or there's a little red painful bump forming inside those pumps, it's time to make a trip to the clinic.

Bunions are bony deformities that can form near the joint at the base of your big toe due to ill-fitting shoes. They can also be hereditary. If your mother or grandmother had bunions, there's a chance you may have them too. Left untreated, bunions can cause pain or difficulty wearing shoes. Mobility may also be affected. In severe cases, it can cause the other toes to "overlap".
