The short answer is yes! But this depends on the severity of the bunion deformity and how long the problem has existed before beginning a bunion rehabilitation program.
In our experience, we have found that the Big Toe Stretch is a helpful first-line exercise in achieving bunion correction. Stretching the tight muscles and tendons on the inside aspect of the big toe is an important step in this process, though performing this stretch alone may not be enough for most people to successfully eliminate their bunion, especially if the bunion has been present for a long time and the tissues that surround and act upon the big toe are tight and stiff.
For many people who have a bunion, using Correct Toes toe spacers in combination with men’s and women’s foot-healthy footwear (i.e., footwear that respects normal and natural foot and toe anatomy) is one of the most effective strategies to help reverse or prevent bunions. One additional tool you can use to help address an existing bunion is BlackBoard ToeBands. There are also several easy exercises (in addition to the Big Toe Stretch) that have proven helpful. This video precisely demonstrates these exercises.
If you want to learn more about bunions and their true underlying cause (as well as learn more about natural, non-invasive, and non-surgical approaches to this common foot problem), this video packs in some excellent info.

A lot of people with bunions assume they are predisposed to developing this foot problem because their older relatives had bunions. But it's impossible to state that bunions are hereditary if all the members of one's family have worn shoes with tapering toe boxes. Shoes with this injurious design feature hold the big toe in a bunion configuration for prolonged periods and are the direct cause of bunions in most...

A natural approach to bunion rehabilitation can, in many cases, be very helpful in preventing the deformity from getting worse, though this always depends on the severity of the bunion and how long the problem has existed before beginning a foot and toe rehabilitation program.
