Bunions

Bunions can be a real pain!

If left untreated, these bony bumps that form at the base of your big toe can cause discomfort and limit your activities. 

Also known as hallux valgus, bunions are very common – about a third of all adults in the US have them due to their big toes pointing inwards.

This causes the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint at the base of your big toe to jut out and form a deformity. If you have bunions, it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible in order to reduce pain and prevent further complications.
