Got Bunion Pain??? Don’t wait, Call us today

Bunion pain, a common foot ailment, occurs when the big toe deviates toward the second toe, causing a bony bump to form at the base of the big toe joint. This deformity can lead to discomfort, inflammation, and difficulty wearing shoes. While conservative measures like wearing roomier footwear or using orthotic inserts may alleviate symptoms, severe cases may require surgical intervention.

Bunion surgery, or bunionectomy, aims to realign the toe joint, remove the bony prominence, and correct any associated deformities. Various surgical techniques exist, including osteotomy (bone cutting and realignment) and arthrodesis (joint fusion). The decision to undergo surgery depends on factors such as the severity of symptoms, impact on daily activities, and response to conservative treatments.

While bunion surgery can provide relief from pain and improve foot function, it involves risks like infection and stiffness. Therefore, consulting Houston’s Foot Doc Sherman Nagler is crucial for evaluating treatment options and determining the most appropriate course of action.
