Physical Therapy in Venice for Foot

Welcome to FYZICAL Venice's patient resource in Venice about Tailor's Bunion.

A bunionette is similar to a bunion, but it develops on the outside of the foot. It is sometimes referred to as a tailor's bunion because tailors once sat cross-legged all day with the outside edge of their feet rubbing on the ground. This produced a pressure area and callus at the bottom of the fifth toe.

This guide will help you understand:

  • where a bunionette develops
  • why a bunionette causes problems
  • what can be done to treat a bunionette
