Bunions
Do you have a painful bump on the side of your big toe?
A bunion is a common foot condition that develops when the big toe begins to shift toward the second toe, creating a prominent bump at the big toe joint. Bunions can become painful, irritated in shoes, and make it difficult to find comfortable footwear.
What Causes a Bunion?

Biomechanics
Cute shoes do not cause bunions, but they can make them worse.
Bunion Treatment
Shoe gear modification
Orthotics
Surgery only when conservative treatment fails.
If your bunion is painful or making it difficult to wear shoes or stay active, schedule an evaluation to discuss your treatment options.
