6 Reason of Foot Bunion - Novena

Foot bunions, or hallux valgus, can develop for various reasons. Here are six common causes.

1. Genetics: A family history of bunions can increase the likelihood of developing them. Genetic factors can affect the alignment of the bones in the foot.
2. Footwear: Wearing tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes can put excessive pressure on the toes and contribute to the formation of bunions. Shoes that do not fit properly can exacerbate the problem.
3. Foot Structure: Certain foot structures, such as flat feet or low arches, can predispose individuals to bunions. Abnormal foot mechanics can lead to the misalignment of the big toe.
4. Arthritis: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis can affect the joints and contribute to the development of bunions by causing joint inflammation and deformities.
5. Foot Injuries: Previous injuries or trauma to the foot can alter its structure and lead to bunion formation.
6. Muscle Imbalance: Imbalances in the muscles and tendons around the foot can result in abnormal pressure and alignment of the toes, contributing to bunion development.
