What is Bunion – 10 Facts to Know

Risk Factors

There are some factors that can increase the risk of developing bunions. People with rheumatoid arthritis or similar inflammatory conditions can be more susceptible. Wearing ill-fitting shoes, such as too pointed, too narrow, or too tight can also increase the risk. Similarly, you should avoid wearing high heels because they can force the toes into the front part, which might crowd your toes. These risk factors can be prevented by making your lifestyle changes.
