Introduction

Welcome to The Foot Practice, your premier destination for comprehensive foot care and podiatric treatment. With our team of experienced podiatrists, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of foot conditions, including bunions.

Understanding Bunions

If you're experiencing pain, swelling, or difficulty walking due to a bunion on your foot, you've come to the right place. Bunions are a common foot deformity that primarily affects the joint at the base of the big toe. They develop over time and are often characterized by a bony bump that forms on the side of the foot.

Causes of Bunions

Bunions can be caused by various factors, including:

• Genetics and family history
• Foot injuries
• Abnormal foot structure
• Improper footwear

Treatment Options

At The Foot Practice, we offer a range of effective bunion treatment options, tailored to your unique needs:

Non-Surgical Treatments

For mild to moderate bunions, non-surgical treatments may be recommended. These may include:

• Wearing comfortable shoes with ample toe space
• Using orthotic devices to provide support and alleviate pressure
• Applying ice packs or taking anti-inflammatory medication to reduce pain and swelling
• Physical therapy exercises to strengthen the foot muscles

Surgical Intervention

In cases where conservative measures don't provide sufficient relief, our highly skilled podiatrists may recommend surgical intervention. Bunion surgery aims to realign the affected joint and correct any structural abnormalities.

Prevention Tips

Prevention is key when it comes to managing bunions. Here are some useful tips to keep your feet healthy:

Choose Appropriate Footwear

The type of shoes you wear plays a significant role in preventing bunions. Opt for footwear that provides ample toe room and arch support. Avoid high heels and shoes with narrow, pointed toes, as they can worsen bunion symptoms.

Maintain a Healthy Weight

Excess weight puts additional stress on your feet, increasing the likelihood of developing bunions. Aim to maintain a healthy weight through proper diet and regular exercise.

Exercise regularly

Engage in exercises that strengthen your foot muscles and promote proper foot alignment. Additionally, stretching exercises can help maintain flexibility and prevent foot problems.
