Help for Bunions at The Foot Practice

Introduction

Welcome to The Foot Practice, your go-to podiatrists specializing in foot care within the Health & Medical industry. If you are seeking professional assistance for bunions, you're in the right place. We understand the discomfort and pain caused by bunions, and our team is dedicated to providing comprehensive solutions to help alleviate your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

What Are Bunions?

Bunions are a common foot condition characterized by the displacement of the big toe joint. This leads to the formation of a bony bump on the side of the foot. While bunions can be hereditary, they are often aggravated by factors such as ill-fitting shoes, excessive pressure, and certain foot conditions.

Signs and Symptoms

If you suspect you have a bunion, it's essential to recognize the signs and symptoms. Some common indications include:

• Pain and tenderness in the affected area
• Swelling and redness around the bunion
• Restricted movement of the big toe
• Corns or calluses developing on or around the bunion
• Difficulty finding comfortable footwear due to the bunion's size

Treatment Options

At The Foot Practice, we offer various treatment options tailored to your specific needs and the severity of your bunion.

1. Non-Surgical Treatments

For less severe cases, we may recommend non-surgical approaches to help manage your bunions. These can include:

• Orthotics: Customized shoe inserts to provide support and help realign the foot.
• Bunion Pads: Cushions placed over the bunion to reduce pressure and friction.
• Footwear Modifications: Guidance on choosing appropriate footwear to minimize discomfort and pressure on the bunion.
• Physical Therapy: Exercises and stretches to strengthen surrounding muscles and improve joint mobility.

2. Minimally Invasive Procedures

In cases where non-surgical treatments do not provide adequate relief, our experienced podiatrists may recommend minimally invasive procedures. These are designed to correct the bunion and alleviate associated symptoms. Examples include:

• Bunionectomy: The removal of the bunion and realignment of the joint.
• Tendon Release: Loosening tight tendons to reduce pressure and realign the toe.

3. Surgical Intervention

In severe or persistent cases, surgical intervention may be necessary. Our highly skilled podiatrists are proficient in performing various surgical procedures to address bunions, including:

• Osteotomy: Cutting and repositioning the affected bone to correct the deformity.
• Arthrodesis: Fusing the joint to provide stability and reduce pain.
• Exostectomy: Removing the bony outgrowth associated with the bunion.
