Bunions, also known as hallux valgus, are a common foot condition that affects millions of people worldwide. They occur when the big toe deviates outward, causing the base of the toe to protrude at an angle. While bunions may seem like a cosmetic issue at first, they can lead to pain, discomfort, and long-term complications if left untreated.
