- 3 years ago
In this video, I'm going to show you how to relieve bunion
pain at home using no special equipment. Stay tuned.
Hey, everyone. Dr. Rowe coming to you from SpineCare in Saint
Joseph, Michigan. In this video, we're going to go over
bunions, also known as hallux valgus, and I'm going to show
you how to get quick pain relief in a very easy-to-follow
three-part guide. In the first part, let's just focus on
getting immediate bunion pain relief even as little as 30
seconds with great stretching exercises. In the second part,
we're going to focus on self mobilization of the big toe.
So, definitely don't miss that one. In the third part, we're
going to focus on everything in and around that big toe to
hopefully lead to less issues, of bunion pain in the future. Go
through all three parts, take what is most effective for you.
As a bonus, all of these exercises can be done at home,
don't require any special equipment and may give quick
bunion pain relief, even in as little as thirty seconds. So,
let's get started and fix that bunion pain at home right now.
In the first part, we're going to focus on great stretching
exercises that can give quick bunion pain relief and we're
really going to focus right here on the big toe at the
metatarsophalangeal joint right here. That's what gets irritated
and causes that toe to really start to have that deformity.
As somebody that suffers a little bit with bunion pain
myself, I'm gonna show you some really good exercises that
really have helped me in the past. The first one is called a
sock toe spreader. Obviously, all we need is a sock. What I
would recommend is something very thin. A dress sock is
perfect. So, what I'm going to do is start off right at my
pinky toe right here and just place that sock right in
between it and then I'm going to loop it across and then go
in between the other toe and then just kinda crisscross. You
see how I'm kinda going like a loop front and back with the
toe until we get to the big toe. What this is going to do
is help space those toes out and also put the big toe into
better alignment. If this is a very comfortable stretch, you
can hold this one for an extended period of time,
several minutes. You really want to focus on allowing those
toes to become spaced out but if you need increase this just
a little bit more, take the end right here on that big toe and
keep wrapping it around because it's only going to help bring
that big toe into a nice, straight alignment but what we
want to do from there is build into a little bit more dynamic
movement. So, what I'd like to do is just curl my toes
forward. When you do this, you're really going to feel it
start to activate over the spot of the bunion. So, only go to
your comfort level. I just squeeze down with my toes and I
try to hold this for about to twenty seconds. From there, I
just relax and then, I'm going to repeat this five times. With
each repetition, also try to squeeze down even more. From
there, let's go backwards with the toes. So,
pain at home using no special equipment. Stay tuned.
