Bunions of the Feet? Advanced Foot Care Can Help
Bunions can cause persistent pain, discomfort, and difficulty walking, affecting your daily life and overall well-being. At Advanced Foot Care, we understand the challenges bunions present, and we’re here to provide expert care and effective solutions tailored to your needs.
What Are Bunions?
A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe, where it meets the foot. This deformity occurs when the big toe pushes against the adjacent toe, causing the joint to stick out and become misaligned. Bunions can develop due to:
- Genetics: Family history of foot deformities.
- Improper footwear: Wearing tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes.
- Medical conditions: Arthritis or other foot-related issues.
Bunions may worsen over time if left untreated, leading to increased pain and difficulty performing everyday activities.
Symptoms of Bunions
Bunions can vary in severity, but common symptoms include:
A noticeable bump on the side of the foot.
Redness, swelling, or soreness around the big toe joint.
Pain while walking or wearing shoes.
Restricted movement in the big toe.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to seek professional care.
