Function: Provide arch support and correct foot mechanics.
Why helpful: Help realign the foot structure by reducing excess pronation that can contribute to bunion development or worsening. They offload pressure from the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) and improve gait.

Function: Gently reposition the big toe and create space between toes.
Why helpful: Reduce overlapping or crowding of toes, minimize friction, and support proper alignment of the big toe over time, especially in early stages.

Function: Separate the toes with fabric compartments.
Why helpful: Promote natural toe splay and reduce friction between toes, which helps slow bunion progression and improves foot posture inside shoes.

Function: Hold the toe in a straighter position and support the joint.
Why helpful: Temporarily realigns the big toe, offloads the bunion area, and reduces discomfort during walking or standing.

Function: Holds the big toe in a corrected position while sleeping.
Why helpful: Gently stretches soft tissues overnight, helping reduce stiffness and slow progression of the deformity by maintaining proper toe alignment.

Function: Lightweight toe separators worn during rest or sleep.
Why helpful: Provide mild realignment without discomfort, reduce pressure on the bunion, and are ideal for consistent, low-impact correction during rest periods.

EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation): Strengthens intrinsic foot muscles that help control toe positioning.
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation): Offers pain relief by interrupting nerve signals.
Why helpful: EMS helps support foot structure and alignment; TENS eases bunion-related joint or nerve pain without medication.
