What are bunions and how do you treat them?

At our clinic, we diagnose and treat bunions, which are bony bumps that form on the joint at the base of the big toe and can cause pain, redness, swelling, and difficulty wearing shoes.

We offer both non-surgical and surgical care:

• Conservative treatments: wide shoes, padding, orthotics, anti-inflammatory therapy
• Minimally invasive bunion surgery to realign the joint with smaller incisions, minimal scarring, and faster recovery

Our goal is to relieve pain, improve foot function, and help you wear the shoes you love comfortably again.

 

What is hammertoe and can you treat it?

A hammertoe is a toe deformity where one of the smaller toes bends abnormally at the middle joint, causing the toe to curl downward. It can lead to pain, corns or calluses, and difficulty with shoes.

At our clinic we offer:

• Conservative care: proper footwear, padding or silicone cushions, stretching, and orthotic support
• Minimally invasive hammertoe surgery to correct rigid deformities with smaller incisions and faster recovery

Treating hammertoes early can reduce pain and prevent progression to more severe deformity.
