Bunion Pain: Ball and Ringer Stretcher to the Rescue
FootFitter Bunion Stretcher Ball & Ring, Cast Iron
http://www.amazon.com/FootFitter-Bunion-Stretcher-Ball-Ring/dp/B000POHTOG
This is a great product that the podiatrists in my office have been using for years. It can not only be used for bunion areas to produce a gentle stretch, but for other pressure spots also. My patient Lynda last Thursday reminded me that she purchased this several years ago and has been stretching her shoes to alleviate the pressure around her bunions every since. You want to go easy so it may take a few nights. If you push too hard, the bump produced can be cosmetically unappealing.
