My 7 year old has bunions. They are not too bad now, but Dr said they will be if she has them already at such a young age. Can this be corrected or slowed down by those seperaters I see online? She is a competative gymnast with hopes of the olympics. Is there any treatment that would be effective since she is young annd still developing?

Surgery at such a young age is not really an option. Click below and view the toe separators and bunion night splint. This may slow down the formation of the hallux abducto valgus (bunions), it may not correct the problem and I would recommend you seek advice from your doctor before you commence treatment.
