One type of bunion aid that helps you to alleviate bunion pain is the bunion night splint.  Bunion night splints help stretch the bones and muscles of the frontal part of the foot.  Bunion night splints are made in various types of sizes and shapes. Some are very rigid and some are more flexible.  Usually, the toe lining of the night splint is smooth and soft which cushions and relaxes the toes. These bunion splints are very comfortable to wear at night and do not interfere with sleeping.

Since a bunion (hallux valgus) is a bony abnormality it can be harder to change the position of the big toe permanently in adults. They may not be as effective for adults, but could be useful to help keep the joint mobile, stop the abnormal progression and offer pain relief.  Over time the big toe may slowly realign into a more normal original shape.  Wearing bunion night splints may provide better correction for adolescents with bunions because they are still young enough for the bone to realign properly.



Bunion night splints are a great way to achieve bunion pain relief but they will not eliminate or cure bunions completely. You should seek the guidance of a medical professional (podiatrist) to determine if surgery is warranted.   Make sure you are wearing proper footwear for bunions in order to prevent worsening or recurring problems.  In other words, if the shoe hurts don’t wear it!

Not everyone with bunions wants to wear a bunion splint during the day so the night splint is another way to help with this problem.  To sum it up, if you are someone suffering with bunions and bunion pain, using a bunion night splint may be a simple and easy option for you.  Remember, if you have prolonged pain in your feet, you should see your health care provider.
