What causes bunions to develop?
Most people assume that bunions are a result of wearing poor fitting shoes. Although this can help speed the development of bunions, bunions are caused by the mechanical working of the foot. When the foot functions in this manner, it allows the bones to move more then they are designed to and a muscle imbalance occurs. This will lead to the development of a bunion. Most people think that you inherit the bunion but it is more accurate to say that you inherit the foot type that allows bunions to develop.
