A bunion is a bony bump at the base of a big toe that is formed when the joint becomes swollen or enlarged, forcing it to crowd against the other toes.  Particularly when wearing shoes, the pressure on the joint pushes it out, and is usually quite painful.

The most common cause for a bunion is wearing shoes that are too tight.  For this reason, bunions tend to travel in pairs – one on each foot.  But there are other causes, such as stress, heredity, arthritis or other medical conditions.

While Comfort Surgery may be required, there are several solutions (such as foot pads) that can greatly relieve, even eliminate, bunion pain.  Call our offices today and we’ll find an answer for you.
