When it comes to foot health, we often underestimate its importance until we’re faced with discomfort or pain. Whether it’s bunions, hammertoes, stress fractures, or plantar fasciitis, these conditions can hinder our daily lives and keep us from enjoying our favorite activities.
Bunion Surgery
Did you know that arthritis in the big toe joint is the most common type of arthritis associated with the foot? It’s true.
We have all seen celebrities, like Oprah, walk down the red carpet in beautiful shoes, but displaying a large bunion. We question, “how did their feet get so bad?” Well, Oprah is not alone.
Though they can be painful, bunions are a common condition reported by more than 3 million Americans each year. The bony protrusion, which develops inside your foot on the big toe joint, puts pressure on your big toe causing it to lean towards your second toe.
Even though bunions are a common foot deformity, there are misconceptions about them. Many people may unnecessarily suffer the pain of bunions for years before seeking treatment.
