ASK THE PODIATRIST WITH MAMANTSHA
If you’ve noticed that several family members have that same bump at the base of the big toe — you might be wondering if genetics are to blame.
Here’s the truth 👉 While bunions can run in families, it’s not the bunion itself that’s inherited — it’s your foot shape and structure, which can predispose you to developing one.
👟 The good news? Early assessment and tailored footwear advice from a podiatrist can prevent things from getting worse.
🔍 Curious whether your bunions are genetic or lifestyle-related?
