Synergy Massaging Insoles re-balances the foot. This reduces the abnormal weight forces on the big toe and its metatarsal head, allowing the foot to function normally. As a result, the stress on the bunion is reduced, and the pain should subside.

HALLUX VALGUS BUNION
A bunion is a bump of bone that becomes prominent at the great toe joint. Bunions become painful when they rub on shoes or develop arthritis within the great toe joint. Bunions become more common with age but are not uncommon in teenagers and young adults. Bunions are more commonly found in women than men.
Bunions increase the width of the forefoot. As the forefoot becomes wider, it becomes increasingly more difficult to fit into a shoe. Bunions also change the position of the joint and force the great toe joint to function in a manner that promotes arthritis of the great toe joint.
As the arthritis becomes increasingly evident, the great toe will ache both with and without shoes.
Pain from a bunion can range from mild to severe, often making it difficult to walk in normal shoes. The skin and deeper tissue around the bunion also may become swollen or inflamed.

Pain from a bunion can range from mild to severe, often making it difficult to walk in normal shoes. The skin and deeper tissue around the bunion also may become swollen or inflamed.
The signs and symptoms of a bunion include:
- A bulging bump on the outside of the base of your big toe
- Swelling, redness or soreness around your big toe joint
- Thickening of the skin at the base of your big toe
- Corns or calluses - these develop where the first and second toes overlap
- Persistent or intermittent pain
- Restricted movement of your big toe
CAUSES:
Bunions can occur for a number of reasons, but a common cause is wearing shoes that fit to tightly. They can also develop as a result of inherited structural defect, injury, stress on your foot or another medical condition.

The other toes on the foot can be affected by a bunion as a result of pressure from the big toe pushing inward toward them. The toenails may begin to grow into the sides of your nail bed.
The smaller toes also can become bent or claw-like (hammertoes), and calluses may form on the bottom of the foot.

TAILOR'S BUNION:
Tailor's bunion, also called a bunionette, is an enlargement of the head of the fifth metatarsal bone near the base of the little toe.
Tailor's bunions are not as common as bunions, which occurs at the big toe, but both are similar in symptoms and causes.
The symptoms of tailor's bunions include redness, swelling, and pain at the site of the enlargement.
These symptoms occur when wearing shoes that rub against the enlargement, irritating the soft tissues underneath the skin and producing inflammation.

Why is it called a "tailor's bunion"? The deformity received its name centuries ago, when tailors sat cross-legged all day with the outside edge of their feet rubbing on the ground. This constant rubbing led to a painful bump at the base of the little toe.
CAUSES:
A tailor's bunion is caused by an inherited change of the mechanical structure of the foot. The fifth metatarsal bone starts to protrude outward, while the little toe moves inward. This shift creates a bump on the outside of the foot that becomes irritated whenever a shoe presses against it.
Tailor's Bunions are a progressive deformity, and if left untreated the bump will become larger, and the little toe will eventually lie over or underneath the fourth toe.
