Welcome to The Foot Practice, where our team of dedicated podiatrists specialize in providing exceptional foot care services. We are passionate about helping individuals with various foot conditions, including foot bunions. With our expertise and comprehensive treatment options, we aim to improve your foot health and overall well-being.
Understanding Foot Bunions
A foot bunion, medically known as "hallux valgus," is a common foot deformity that affects the joint at the base of the big toe. It occurs when the bone or tissue at the joint moves out of place, causing the big toe to lean inward towards the other toes. This displacement often results in discomfort, pain, and difficulty in finding comfortable footwear.
Foot bunions can be caused by various factors, including genetics, improper foot mechanics, and wearing tight or ill-fitting shoes. Women are more prone to developing bunions due to the frequent use of narrow-toed, high-heeled shoes. It is important to seek professional help if you experience persistent pain or notice the development of a bunion.
Comprehensive Foot Bunion Care
At The Foot Practice, we understand the impact that foot bunions can have on your daily life. Our experienced podiatrists are committed to providing personalized care and effective solutions to alleviate your symptoms and address the underlying causes of your condition.
During your initial consultation, our podiatrists will conduct a thorough examination of your feet, including an assessment of your gait and foot mechanics. We will discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any previous treatments you may have tried. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to create a tailored treatment plan specific to your needs.
Our range of treatment options for foot bunions includes:
- Footwear Recommendations: Our podiatrists will suggest appropriate footwear that accommodates your foot shape and allows for proper alignment.
- Custom Orthotics: We may recommend the use of orthotic devices, such as shoe inserts or arch supports, to provide additional support and alignment to your feet.
- Physical Therapy: Our skilled therapists can guide you through exercises and stretches to improve foot strength, flexibility, and alignment.
- Padding and Taping: We may apply protective padding or utilize taping techniques to reduce pressure and pain caused by foot bunions.
- Medications: In some cases, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or corticosteroid injections may be recommended to manage pain and inflammation.
- Surgical Intervention: If conservative measures fail to provide relief, we offer advanced surgical options to correct the bunion and restore optimal foot function.
