Let’s talk about how to get rid of bunions. Bunions can become inflamed and tender, affecting your ability to walk and exercise. Bunions can even lead to knee pain or hip pain.

Top causes of bunions:
• Your shoes don’t fit correctly
• You have flat feet
• You have ankle mobility issues

How to get rid of bunions:
1. Get shoes and socks that aren’t too tight around your toes
2. Use silicone toe spreaders
3. Do certain exercises

The best exercises for bunions:
1. Sit in a chair and bring one knee up with your arm. Then, move your foot in a complete circle as if you’re trying to draw a circle with your toes. Do ten rotations clockwise with your right foot, then do ten rotations counterclockwise. Repeat this with your left foot.

2. Place a tennis ball under the mid part of the arch in your foot. Stand on the tennis ball for two minutes and then switch feet. Do this once a day.

3. Sit in a chair and raise your toes up on both feet at the same time. Start with doing this 10 times and work up to doing it 30 times. If you get a cramp, stop. Once you can do this sitting, try doing it standing while balancing yourself against a wall.

4. While sitting in a chair, lift up your toes using your calf muscles. Do this by pushing your toes into the floor and lifting your heels. Do this back and forth, working your way up to 30 repetitions. After you can do this sitting, try doing it standing, balancing yourself using a chair or the wall.

5. While sitting in a chair, rock your ankles back and forth (invert and evert your ankles), working up to doing 30 repetitions. Once you can do this sitting, try it standing.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps explain how to fix bunions. I’ll see you in the next video.

I’ve had bunion on my right foot for about 10 years. Watched this video seems like a year ago or close. Got better fitting shoes and did all the exercises every day and sometimes several times a day. And it was getting better, but today there was a difference. Had a little crack like cracking your knuckles in my foot. No pain whatsoever associated with it. And suddenly my toe is straight, no pain, I can walk straight and fully extend my foot. It’s like a miracle.
Thank you so very much. I’ll continue the exercises for sure.
And I also watch all of your videos and you’ve helped me in so many ways. You’re incredible in how you’re helping others. Thanks again.

Lifetime runner (50 years +) and all the info here is golden. I swear by toe socks, toe separators, recovery slides, youtube physio videos plus lots more.

Dancer/Runner here and have had Bunions my whole life. Started wearing a toe spacer for the last 10 years in every shoe I wear and it has gone down at least half the size . It's taken time but worth it! Get a toe spacer that's meant for ballerinas they work the best! DO IT you won't be disappointed. The spacer and stretches together are a life saver for the pain.

My mom's suffering from this, very grateful, thank you, Dr. Berg very much!💓🙏

[robinlynn]

Thanks Doc Eric. This helped me a lot. Working in the medical field for many years and being on my feet a lot, this happened to me. Beard looks awesome!! Thanks for all your compassion and helping us. Blessing always

Thanks a lot, Dr Berg. I do appreciate all your hard work.

[annewatkis]

Dr B you are truly wonderful. I’ve sorted my mental health from IF and keto, now addressing other body issues,
, like my left foot bunion. Thank you very much.

[veronicavaldelamar]

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
I've been having so much difficulty with my right foot bunion and have seen so many other videos with some relief. But I do believe in ur advice & will try these. 💛

[anicole]

Thank you. My left foot and leg are a mess. Bunion, Hip bursitis, then last year, I had a ladder accident and broke my knee and heel bone. I've been doing a lot of exercise to try to recover my full range of motion in both the knee and ankle. I will be adding those which you've shown, as they look like they may have multiple benefits.

I had stage 4 bunions on both feet before I was 30. I’ve always worn wide, comfortable shoes. I’m not impressed by fashion, I did what made my feet less painful. I’m a medical professional who was on my feet for years, narrowly sitting each shift for minutes. I was also an avid mountain climber, but had to tape my toes before each hike.
Surgery was my only option as both feet were beyond what you describe here. After recovering from surgery, no more pain, or taping needed. I was non-weight bearing for 6-7 weeks.
I’m 66 years old now and by far that was the best decision I’ve made to increase my quality of life.
BTW, I was normal to small in build, ate clean, and always wore the correct shoes for this problem.
I would be curious to see someone with an advanced bunion “cure” it by following your recommendations.
I think most of your videos are helpful, but I’m very skeptical of your opinion in this case.
Respectfully.

Doing the calf raises also really help. I started doing calf raises just as part of my workout routine and noticed my feet/bunions getting back into better shape and wasn't sure why lol now I know

[litazmojo]

My parents have that, now I feel so happy I will let them know there is a fascinating video of you that have hope and out the pain. Thank you so much Dr. Berg.!🙏🏻❤️🌹

Dr. Berg, I am a Chiropractor also. I gave up on tennis balls. I much prefer Racket balls for patients. They don’t slide on the floor or walls. They are gentle but effective. When tennis balls slide out or land on the floor, they belong to the dogs. I refer my patients to your Channel. I do appreciate your work! Thanks! Bill Miskelly

[marytaylor]

Thank you Dr. Berg you’re so wonderful and helpful. I am going to do this treatment for myself. Thank you so much.

[marysh]

Incredible information. Wish you the best Dear Dr. Berg.

[lindajaramillo]

Thank you for this, Dr.Berg.God bless you!!!!

[sofiahabtemariam]

This is exactly one big toe I’m straggling with, so painful also! And thanks for sharing with us Dr.

[evaowens]

Hey Dr. Eric, I have to add a #4 cause: I had cancer in right leg and my sciatic nerve was removed so my foot is paralyzed (I did baffle my Docs, when I had feeling below my knee due to developing an extra nerve through years of ballet). Since my left foot compensates for the right one, I now have a huge bunion. I use a comfy toe separator and a medical foot massager, but didn't know about the exercises....thank you! (some I cannot do because a paralyzed foot does not bend, but I'm excited to try the rest!).

[esther.f.g]

Thank you for all the information you give to improve our health, I like this kin of videos and diversity not only IF or keto. This video is very helpful
