Are you suffering from bunion pain? If so, you should consider a bunion splint or bunion adjuster as an important part of your bunion treatment. It may very well be just the thing that will make a big difference in bunion pain.

You may also hear a bunion splint called a bunion adjuster. A bunion adjuster is a term that also refers to a device worn at night, but they may also be called bunion splints. Whatever it’s called, a bunion splint or bunion adjuster worn at night while you sleep will hold your big toe in position and gently stretch the tendons and muscles in the front of your foot. Then in the morning when you need to get up, chances are your feet won’t have as much pain or discomfort. Once the splint is removed, don’t be surprised to find that it becomes easier for you to walk and move around. And that’s what everyone with bunions on their feet wants more than anything; to be able to walk without excruciating pain.

Many people have success with bunion night splints. Of course, everyone is different, but many people report that their foot pain is greatly relieved after wearing a bunion adjuster or splint for about a week. Most reviewers say their experience with bunion night splints is very good and recommend that other patients try one. Some very lucky people even say that after just a night or two of wearing a bunion adjuster, they can notice a significant difference in their pain level. Maybe you are one of these people. These success stories are very encouraging.

Some bunion splints are designed to be worn not only at night, but also during the day if desired. These splints are hinged so you can walk in them if you have a wide pair of shoes.

Like almost everything, bunion splints can be found designed with various materials and in different sizes. Some people say it takes a bit of getting used to wearing a bunion splint at night, but that’s to be expected. Anything different takes time to get used to. However, it would be best to get used to walking without severe pain! You’ll feel like your “old self” again and enjoy the freedom of movement you always had before.

Even if your foot pain is so great that you think you’re going to have bunion surgery and you’ve tried other pain relief methods to no avail, do yourself a favor and try a bunion adjuster. Your podiatrist may have already encouraged you to try one. Perhaps you are one of those who say that the relief they received from a bunion splint allowed them to forego the dreaded foot surgery. Keep in mind that recovery from bunion surgery can take several weeks. If you’re not careful during your recovery, especially when it comes to managing swelling, it can actually take months before you’re able to walk like you used to. Of course, this situation should be avoided as far as possible. Therefore, before undergoing surgery, you owe it to yourself to see how much a bunion splint will help you and restore your ability to walk normally.
