Bunion Treatment
Do you think you have a bunion? Bunions can cause discomfort, interfere with your daily activities, and make finding comfortable footwear a challenge. At Holland Foot and Ankle, we offer expert care to assess and treat bunions, so you can get back to your active, pain-free lifestyle.
What Is a Bunion?
A bunion is more than just a bump on your foot – it’s a structural issue where the first metatarsal bone shifts outward and the big toe drifts inward, creating a noticeable bump on the side of your foot.While bunions are often hereditary, they tend to worsen with age and wear-and-tear. Though uncommon, bunions can also develop in children. Left untreated, they can cause various problems, including pain, discomfort, and difficulty with footwear.
Bunions can bother you in several ways, including:
A visible bump on the side of your big toe joint.
Pain or aching in the joint, especially after walking or exercising.
Development of corns or calluses between the toes or on the bunion itself.
Stiffness or limited movement in the big toe.
Difficulty finding shoes that fit comfortably.
If your bunion is affecting your ability to enjoy your favorite activities or causing ongoing discomfort, professional evaluation and treatment are recommended.
