Let’s talk about how to get rid of bunions. Bunions can become inflamed and tender, affecting your ability to walk and exercise. Bunions can even lead to knee pain or hip pain.
Top causes of bunions:
• Your shoes don’t fit correctly
• You have flat feet
• You have ankle mobility issues
How to get rid of bunions:
1. Get shoes and socks that aren’t too tight around your toes
2. Use silicone toe spreaders
3. Do certain exercises
The best exercises for bunions:
1. Sit in a chair and bring one knee up with your arm. Then, move your foot in a complete circle as if you’re trying to draw a circle with your toes. Do ten rotations clockwise with your right foot, then do ten rotations counterclockwise. Repeat this with your left foot.
2. Place a tennis ball under the mid part of the arch in your foot. Stand on the tennis ball for two minutes and then switch feet. Do this once a day.
3. Sit in a chair and raise your toes up on both feet at the same time. Start with doing this 10 times and work up to doing it 30 times. If you get a cramp, stop. Once you can do this sitting, try doing it standing while balancing yourself against a wall.
4. While sitting in a chair, lift up your toes using your calf muscles. Do this by pushing your toes into the floor and lifting your heels. Do this back and forth, working your way up to 30 repetitions. After you can do this sitting, try doing it standing, balancing yourself using a chair or the wall.
5. While sitting in a chair, rock your ankles back and forth (invert and evert your ankles), working up to doing 30 repetitions. Once you can do this sitting, try it standing.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps explain how to fix bunions. I’ll see you in the next video.
I’ve had bunion on my right foot for about 10 years. Watched this video seems like a year ago or close. Got better fitting shoes and did all the exercises every day and sometimes several times a day. And it was getting better, but today there was a difference. Had a little crack like cracking your knuckles in my foot. No pain whatsoever associated with it. And suddenly my toe is straight, no pain, I can walk straight and fully extend my foot. It’s like a miracle.
Thank you so very much. I’ll continue the exercises for sure.
And I also watch all of your videos and you’ve helped me in so many ways. You’re incredible in how you’re helping others. Thanks again.
Are you for real?
@@khushboosharma6176 I am for real.
You may have broke down the calcium deposits that had formed around the joint. Well done!
Wow thats so cool
How long did u exercise for before u heard the crack
Dancer/Runner here and have had Bunions my whole life. Started wearing a toe spacer for the last 10 years in every shoe I wear and it has gone down at least half the size . It's taken time but worth it! Get a toe spacer that's meant for ballerinas they work the best! DO IT you won't be disappointed. The spacer and stretches together are a life saver for the pain.
I'm thinking of doing the toe spacers. May I ask do you wear them just when you put on shoes or do you also sleep with them?
@@weescotties good question
Where do you get toe spacers...seriously?
Ebay has toe spacers around 5 usd.
F
Lifetime runner (50 years +) and all the info here is golden. I swear by toe socks, toe separators, recovery slides, youtube physio videos plus lots more.

Doing the calf raises also really help. I started doing calf raises just as part of my workout routine and noticed my feet/bunions getting back into better shape and wasn't sure why lol now I know
Thanks
Thanks, good to know!
Bunions are typically genetic foot /ankle bone structure mobility of metatarsal and ankle. My grandmother, me, daughter and niece all have it! I had it since 12! It wasn’t from wearing heels and none of us have flat feet😊 !! My daughter developed pre teen as well. I had Lapiplasty at age 57! So glad I did!!
Had bunions for over 30 years. In addition to what Dr. Berg said, I get regular deep foot massages and reflexology. Helps immensely. Rarely have bunion pain. Taking magnesium and potassium has helped as well.
Interesting about magnesium & potassium. 🌞
Did your bunions actually go away? I’ve had mine for about 30 years (from wearing shoes that were too small as a kid) but I’ve never thought that I could fix them without painful surgery.
I always thought I would have to have surgery as well. Would love it if I didn’t have to.
Be careful with potassium if you are older than 50 and not doing much exercise that causes swetting.
@@fizoblong9506 Potassium and other electrolytes correctly balanced is extremely helpful especially in high quantity. It's known that a 200lbs healthy man needs 4700mg of potassium throughout the day while the usual man does not get any more than a 1000mg a day of potassium, ect. The usual stress, physical exercises and sickness as well, increase potassium requirements.
Dr. Berg, I am a Chiropractor also. I gave up on tennis balls. I much prefer Racket balls for patients. They don’t slide on the floor or walls. They are gentle but effective. When tennis balls slide out or land on the floor, they belong to the dogs. I refer my patients to your Channel. I do appreciate your work! Thanks! Bill Miskelly
Whats a Racket Ball?
@@rosisunny9302 We call it badminton in the uk. You use a shuttlecock not a ball. 🏸❤️
@@pinkfox5651 Different sport. Racket ball uses a rubber ball.
@@pinkfox5651 🙄 The only similarity between racquetball and badminton is that you use a racquet.
Try a Rad ball!
My mom's suffering from this, very grateful, thank you, Dr. Berg very much!💓🙏
Boy I wish I would've known this before my bunion surgery about 20 years ago....it was a DISASTER and I've have repercussions ever since! Thanks Dr. Berg! I do A LOT of these exercises but my whole body has suffered from this surgery. I hope no one gets bunion surgery!!!
I just got mine done 2 months ago, I’m slowly recovering, I could run a bit yesterday, haha. Can I ask what repercussions you have?
I had both bunions removed 25 years ago and after a year, the right one grew back! I'm getting a sore ankle now that cracks regularly. I'm doing these exercises Dr Berg gave us. God bless him for his informative videos.🙏
They have improved the surgery.
I had one bunion removed 23 years ago and luckily the surgery worked. Bunion never came back! However, my leg muscles are uneven looking now as the muscles in my leg with the surgery atrophied a lot. Never got it back all the way. Still think it was worth it.
@@Sleepy_Crabe My bunion is now HUGE. The foot without the surgery looks normal. The doctor told me if I had the bunion surgery my big toe of the left foot wouldn't slant toward the other toes. Well it does now, quite a bit. Throws off my other toes. Affected my ankle big time which in turn affected my knee. My yoga teacher informed me the big toe is the stabilizer for our balance so it's also affected my posture. I have had PT and he told me I should've been in for treatment within a week of surgery. My doc told me NOT to do PT....LOL wanted to sue my surgeon but she was married to a lawyer. Waste of time anyway. I'd follow Dr. Berg's exercises religiously!!
I had stage 4 bunions on both feet before I was 30. I’ve always worn wide, comfortable shoes. I’m not impressed by fashion, I did what made my feet less painful. I’m a medical professional who was on my feet for years, narrowly sitting each shift for minutes. I was also an avid mountain climber, but had to tape my toes before each hike.
Surgery was my only option as both feet were beyond what you describe here. After recovering from surgery, no more pain, or taping needed. I was non-weight bearing for 6-7 weeks.
I’m 66 years old now and by far that was the best decision I’ve made to increase my quality of life.
BTW, I was normal to small in build, ate clean, and always wore the correct shoes for this problem.
I would be curious to see someone with an advanced bunion “cure” it by following your recommendations.
I think most of your videos are helpful, but I’m very skeptical of your opinion in this case.
Respectfully.
Leenie
Imho one might need to look at any muscles that might be causing hip rotation. Ie tight glutes. Muscle imbalances can cause one to walk duck toed which would cause the great toe to be pushed over toward the next toe.
I am a retired medical professional also. First bunion was from a fall. Broke a toe, and chipped metatarsal. 36 years ago and also opposite foot broke little toe 19 years ago. I wear toe spacers and do exercises and have now started massage. No surgeries, and where you drift with large toe, I am not as bad. Will not do surgery for either foot and I am almost 70.
I’ve had bunions for years, wore the wrong shoes when working for so many years, so I am paying the price. There is only very occasional pain that goes away quickly. I’m 73 years old and would never have bunion surgery after hearing the horror stories from at least 4 people I know that had the surgery. Will definitely try Dr. Berg’s exercises.
Ive seen therapist release crooked toes and minimize the size of a bunion in one session. The massages are intense so they looked painful but the toe straightened out
Very interesting! I feel that the major cause of my bunions has been my gait, I am a little bow legged and I walk with my toes pointing outward, not directly under my knees. Your case seems to be an extreme, so maybe surgery was the best option, but I think doing the exercises can only benefit us, regardless of surgery.
Thanks a lot, Dr Berg. I do appreciate all your hard work.
Thank you for this,Dr.Berg.God bless you!!!!
Incredible information. Wish you the best Dear Dr. Berg.
Thanks Doc Eric. This helped me a lot. Working in the medical field for many years and being on my feet a lot, this happened to me. Beard looks awesome!! Thanks for all your compassion and helping us. Blessing always
Thank you Dr for your advices , they are very helpful 🙏
Unbelievably helpful video.Thank you for the depth of research to help us out!
No bunions, butdifficultbalance and stiff ankles. These are helping. Thanks yet again.
I’ve had a bunion since I was a little kid. Became much worse and painful as I grew. I went to a podiatrist and the Dr. told me that it was genetic. Which both my parents do have. And yes, other things described in this video do enhance the bunion. I had to have surgery to have the bunion removed. For the surgery, the foot is opened up. The bunion shaved off. The big toe bone is broken, then realigned. A small metal piece is put in place on the big toe bone to keep it straight. You are obviously on conscious under surgery. Recovery is uncomfortable. But SO worth doing. Did the surgery over 5 years ago. Not one problem. Best thing I did to get rid of the pain/ bunion on my foot. It is a medical problem. My insurance paid for the surgery.
I also wanted to ad; If you're think of doing the surgery for bunion removal, make sure you do a background check on the Doctor. That the Doctor is experienced in doing the surgery. I had it done here at the Cleveland Clinic from a reputable Dr. who actually specializes in bunion removals. Again, had it over 5 years ago. Not one problem.
Same. I had a sports orthopedic surgeon do my foot. Best decision. Mine is also genetic from fallen arches, over pronation and a very sharp Q angle from hip to inside of my knee. I do all kinds of exercises to strengthen the weak muscles but only surgery was going to fix my problem. Best to you.
Same.
Mine was genetics, ballet pointe shoes for years, gymnastics for years then modeling professionally for years.
I’m grateful for the body I have now in my 40’s from everything but my poor feet never stood a chance 🤣💚
That’s fantastic! I’m so happy for you!
@erock, U totally agree with you. Inherited this 'pain in the butt' from my mother's family.
Had surgery done over 20, best thing U ever did
My 27 year old niece just had the surgery. I can remember her Mom having bunions and she was young. And my neice had them since she was itty bitty and I thought it really surprizing! So they're genetic! Never would have thought this 😮👠👠 thought her Mom had from wearing her high narrow pointed heels..
Dr Berg, this thing started to grow on my feet, I stayed 2 months on a farm and I started walking with no shooes on my feet, so I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ANYMORE, IT DESAPIER... my feet are so beautiful again.
♡from Brazil! 🇧🇷☘
Thank you Dr. Berg you’re so wonderful and helpful. I am going to do this treatment for myself. Thank you so much.
My parents have that, now I feel so happy I will let them know there is a fascinating video of you that have hope and out the pain. Thank you so much Dr. Berg.!🙏🏻❤️🌹
Good Morning , Dr.Berg🎑
I sure do appreciate this great health tip , Thank you so sharing this very interesting information with everyone , God bless and Protect all of you !
❤ 4 / 27 / 2022 ❤
I'm so glad that you shared this video because I have been having this problem since childhood probably. I am 20 now, which is quite weird for me to have this problem this young. For some months I have started to feel numbness in the outer part of the toe and at the same time pain inside of the joint. My parents told me ones, that as a child I was a lot of times walking on my toes, so I don't know if this could affect me in some way, because I don't know anything about the points you made. Also for most of my life I couldn't even made the right squat without going deep and not pushing my back too forward. So at certain point I also have shortened calf muscles and the fact with not proper stability while exercising is so horrifying true. I recently started going to gym so am working on proper body posture. I am very thankful Dr. Berg for all of this advices and exercises. I will put it into my routine.
This is exactly one big toe I’m straggling with, so painful also! And thanks for sharing with us Dr.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
I've been having so much difficulty with my right foot bunion and have seen so many other videos with some relief. But I do believe in ur advice & will try these. 💛
Dr B you are truly wonderful. I’ve sorted my mental health from IF and keto, now addressing other body issues,
, like my left foot bunion. Thank you very much.
Your content... Is seriously amazing!!
THE BEST!!!
Thank you for your kind and positive comment!
You are amazing Doc! Lots of great information on your site!
Thank you so much for all these important instructions
Thank you. My left foot and leg are a mess. Bunion, Hip bursitis, then last year, I had a ladder accident and broke my knee and heel bone. I've been doing a lot of exercise to try to recover my full range of motion in both the knee and ankle. I will be adding those which you've shown, as they look like they may have multiple benefits.
Good stuff ! My bunion has already diminished after a few minutes of these exercises. And I can walk again . Thanks
Always, Always something interesting you talk about. Love the diversity.
My massage therapist has actuality moved my toes. It has been a process, but it is so worth it. He has also released my ankles. I feel like a toddler learning how to walk properly!
That's great. Thanks for sharing your experience here.
Thank you so much Dr.Berg for this good advice for bunions, God bless you.
Doing the alphabet with my feet helped me to avoid arch pain. Used both upper case and lower case alphabet just to get full stretch! Easy while watching tv! :)
This is such helpful information.Thank you so much!
Thank you for all the information you give to improve our health, I like this kin of videos and diversity not only IF or keto. This video is very helpful
You are the most informative doctor Ive ever seen. Thanks for all you do.
In my experience, consulting a podiatrist saved me. Flat feet and Ankle pronation have been the problem and this is hereditary . I have plastic orthotics in my shoes and I use toe spacers between the big toe and second toe. My podiatrist provided strengthening exercises and stretches. These measures have arrested the development of bunions. I don’t have back, hip and knee pain and my legs are straight. In addition to Dr Berg’s advice re exercises, I strongly recommend a consult with a good podiatrist first before seeing a surgeon. Correct alignment from the feet up is so important. Avoid unnecessary bunion surgery, when the biomechanics in your feet, ankles, knees, hips and your spine can be corrected through a podiatrist. Some people would not have had success with these orthotics as I have or had a bad experience with podiatrists, but it pays to do the research. I see my podiatrist annually and have been for 20 or so years. My orthotics are reviewed to see if further modifications are needed or need to be replaced . If uncorrected, progressive joint problems can develop.. which may lead to joint replacement.
Can you share the type/brand of toe separator?
Yeah my podiatrist was like schedule surgery this is way beyond anything orthotics can help:/
@@sarahthomson8183 correct toes is a good one, but you just need a shoe wide enough for room.
@@sarahthomson8183 Hi! My podiatrist made one customised to fit between my big toe and second toe.
Thank you. Wonderful advice. Wish I had gone to a good podiatrist in my 30s.
Thank you Dr. Berg, excellent information. Thank you, thank you..
Thank you so much dr eric berg
We need a tailor's bunion specific video please! Thx for this great video good dr. Berg!
Great advice. This and (slowly) transitioning from regular to barefoot style shoes. It’s been a month and I can see improvement. IMO, most people are wearing tight and ill-fitting footwear.
Thank you so much Dr.Eric Berg. Gbu
I'm so happy to see this. My doctor just told me to get surgery on my bunions now since they are not bad yet. Doing research that sounds like a bad idea.
Thank you for these tremendous recommendations! Will definitely work on them!🙏🙏🙏
You're most welcome!
Hey Dr. Eric, I have to add a #4 cause: I had cancer in right leg and my sciatic nerve was removed so my foot is paralyzed (I did baffle my Docs, when I had feeling below my knee due to developing an extra nerve through years of ballet). Since my left foot compensates for the right one, I now have a huge bunion. I use a comfy toe separator and a medical foot massager, but didn't know about the exercises....thank you! (some I cannot do because a paralyzed foot does not bend, but I'm excited to try the rest!).
Thank you so much for such a very useful information.
Dr E you are a wonderful person thank you 🙏
I had terrible pain from this for about a week. Luckily it went away fairly quickly with rest. My heart goes out to people who live with this for years, literally every step you take is so painful
Don’t worry it will come back 😢
uric acid
@@renenava5213 i have bunions and many years ago i drank the tea from the Kombucha mushroom, the pain went away and never came back. Apparently the mushroom tea cleans the body of the Uric Acid that contributes to the pain.
I live with this pain
Thank you for posting this video. I will be doing these exercises. I have suffered with bunions for many years. My right big toe is hallux rigidus now (I think I spelt that right) and my left big toe is becoming that too. However about 5 years ago I got orthotics from the hospital and they changed my life. I am 62 now and I am even able to run on the treadmill at the gym💖x
Thank you so much for this information 🙏🏻
All foot exercises are very good and I will do it regularly now.Thanks Doctor
Such a useful video.
Great exercises!
Thank you so much
Most welcome! Glad you found it useful!
Good morning Dr berg..could you please help with severe painful calluses..many thanks in advance 🤗
Thank you sooo much doctor.
I am suffering from this problem.
Thank you for a priceless video
I really need this exercise
Thanks for the info Dr Berg.
Happy to be of help!
My Dear Doctor, thank you for all you do and all your help. Have bunions but huge arch making feet roll inwards and now stuck with Drop Foot. Anything you can suggest for the later as well? Thank you again and God Bless you 🙏
thx. Dr Berg, that was very helpful.
Thank you!
This helps!

Hi, Dr. Berg. Love to listen to your information regarding Bunion. What can I do for a hammer toe?
Thanks so much for this, Dr. Berg! I have the exact opposite problem. My little toes -- which have been broken many times -- are in constant pain. I was moving furniture last weekend, and now I can hardly bear to put weight on my feet. I'm using a pillow under my feet as I sit here at the computer desk. I will work through the recommended exercises and try to strengthen up the muscles, and possibly look for wider shoes.
It's a load of $h!+.
@drjlrust is it possible le your little toes were never set properly after being broken? This happened to me, it took me quite some time to discover the problem. That was why they kept breaking, in my case. Next time it broke, I took a deep breath and pulled the toe long as hard as I could then released to set, then taped it tightly to next toe for 8 weeks, no less, changing tape as needed. Never had another problem. With it, it's been 20 years. Good luck!

Super awesome info doc thank yoi so much.God bless.
Thanks dr...bergs.i will share this information so..helpful...have a awesome day .....!!!!
So grateful for this video !! Thank you. Im 42 and an suffering bunion pain daily which is now affecting my knees in particular my left side.
My knees my hips back amd neck. 😖
@@BossQueen My left ankle, my right ankle ...Peripheral nuropathy, lipoma... ; )
Bunions are typically correlated with flat feet/flexible arch which may also be causing your knee pain. The pain at the bunion is typically from shoe pressure at the bunion. Try wearing athletic shoes with a soft mesh upper and a stiff sole and add in an arch support. Make sure you’re wearing the correct size shoe. You should have at least 1\2 inch from the end of your big toe to the end of the shoe when standing. You can also use a bunion pad to protect the bone in shoes. You can see a foot specialist for orthotics or to discuss corrective surgery. Best of luck.
Avoid gluten. I always find I have more pain in my ankles and knees when I eat a lot of bread. I’ve gone gluten free but when I cheat I feel it!
Great advice - and definitely good exercises - and of course walking barefoot in sand , on grass, and Stone Beach ( stranding on the tennishal) when possible is always very good for muscles and cirkulation 🎶💚🎵
Thank you.
Most helpful.
Thank you, I really needed this.
Thx so much, Dr. Berg! I have requested you to talk about bunions around three months before in this channel and now it comes true!! Thank you!!!!✨
Hey Doc, Good Morning. A friend of mine emailed me today about suffering with Bunions so my first thought was to see what you had to say about those nasty little lumps. And, Yep, as usual you have the best advice and the healing method. Thank you so much, I'm sending out the links to her. Have a great day!!
Great I will definitely follow this exercises.thank u
Thank you, Dr Berg.
Best thing I found was to put the two big toes side by side then use one fat rubber band around both pulling them together, then keep your heels together try separating slowly both big toes, the band aligns the toes as it forces them back the right way..... you can watch a movie or sit at computer when you do this!!!!! It's truly the best😁along with Doc Bergs great tips too!
This is why I always read the comments - for great ideas like this one👍
Hope this works for me. These kids been ringing my doorbell, then running away. I never could chase them because of my foot issues. I sure will like to catch just one of them and put my foot where the sun don't shine.
🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣😂

Good Motivation, you Go Girl 😂😂
Lolol they are probably super bored! Sad their parents find useful things for these children to do!
Awesome
Thank you
Great advice! 👍
Thank you 🙏 ❤️😀
Thank you sir! i really appreciate your knowledge..
Hey thanks! Appreciate that.
_Contrary to popular belief, bunions are aggravated, not caused, by shoes. The late anthropologist Margaret Meade observed many members of a South Sea island tribe had bunions, yet they had never worn shoes! They usually are the result of inherited faulty foot mechanics that put abnormal stress on the front of the foot._
Excellent! Thank you!
Thank you. I swear whatever is on my mind that week that I wish you would post on, you post on 😃
Yoga Toes are a MUST!! I also love my OOfos! I just had Lapiplasty with a hammer toe fix caused by the bunion. Mine wasn't shoe related.
Custom orthotics and wear shoes with well padded soles like Sketchers.
Doc I’ve been looking for these answers since my I got my bunion. Thank you for this video and these exercises. I’m going to start them today.
Same here..let's recover together 😊
All of the movements actually work. It takes time to get the muscles and flexibility going if you have been sedentary a long time, but worth it. Thanks, Dr. Berg.
Your voice is so soothing. Thanks for these tips. I'm trying to avoid having bunion surgery as I hear the pain is unbearable.
Altra makes excellent shoes with natural size footbox. They are also Zero-drop from heel to toe. Once I tried them I never turned back. Injinji makes toe-socks for each individual toe. I use these alone or with a pair of light darn tough socks to avoid blisters while hiking or on long walks. Take care of your feet!
Thank you so much! I've always wanted to fix my bunions!🙏🏽🙏🏽
You're very welcome!
@@Drberg I asked if gout can destroy joints to where they look like bunions?
Great video thank you! Had bunion surgery on both feet, one in August 2021 and the other the following year in February. Sadly both surgeries failed and 1 foot all the hardware broke surgeon failed to mention my foot was not fused at all which caused the hardware break. Now days I use barefoot foot shoes and vibram 5 finger shoes which I find much comfort. I also have flat feet. I will add these exercises to my daily routine. Thank you again!!
I've been watching since u first came out.love the info.
I’m definitely starting these exercises tomorrow (currently 3:04 AM)! I injured my right big toe in Taekwondo as a teen and I’ve developed bunions due to the sport.
My right foot was also broken in a car accident January last year. I had a “boxer’s” break in my right hand and severely fractured my calcaneus and had to have surgery. The swelling from the fracture went up into my ankle and so I believe I have nerve damage from that. My ankle still feels weak and I still can’t wear heels 😭
I think these exercises will help me strengthen the muscles that are still weak from atrophy and I hope to fix my bunions too! 🌸
I'm watching this at 2:44 am.
I was foot-shamed also for I've had bunion.since.childhood... technical name which I came to know only some time ago.
But at 30 i survived in an accident ending up with right leg disability and half right foot amputation.
Now my foot looks ugliest but thank god and my doctor for.am.still walking with crutches. 😇😇
What is wrong with others in this world shaming someone for looking different. Thank goodness you survived, and wish you well.🌸😇🌷
You are so flipping AWESOME ❣️
THANK YOU ☺️
Thank you as always.
Thank You Dr ,Berg .
Most welcome!
I have a rolling pin by my bed and roll my feet on it each day. It has definitely helped.
Thanks for the tips . I did them Al Ng the talk. I will have to practice these excercises. THANKS.
Very useful information, Dr Sahib. THANKS a lot
My left foot is flat and I've noticed the development of a bunion so this video is very helpful. I'm going to start working on these exercises asap. I do have weak ankles and leg muscles so this will help. I'd like to recommend a brand of sock called Happy Feet that is designed to separate the toes and straighten them back out. They have helped me when I use them. I've found its hardest to separate the last two toes the most but after few minutes I feel a lot of relief. I've also found that a brand of shoe called Xero Shoes has helped me strengthen the muscles in my feet and I've gotten back a bit of my arch in the left foot. These shoes are very flexible and allow your feet to move naturally and flex.
You're a real saviour. You're the one who makes us full of life again! Thank you Dr Berg.
Dr. Berg is a very smart, and wonderful person for what he does.
But the only true living savior is Jesus Christ, he is the only true person that can give you life, he has given us all life actually.
And he gave up his life so that we could have eternal life, I pray that you with understand how important this is, because there is not a single person in the world that deserves this credit more then Jesus. You will have eternal life by believing these things.
God bless 💕
@@awake3162 Wonderful thought but I beg to differ. For me Dr Berg is the real saviour since he is enlightening us everyday for solving real life issues. Thank you for your understanding.
Thank u 🙏 💜 I wondered if the exercise was good given the pain but will push through 😤
Well! I stumbled upon this and very grateful for the information. I believe that I am starting to develop bunions due to different boots I wear often on the weekends to line dance. Clearly I will need to make some adjustments… And seeing this now I can start early. TY!
