Expert Bunion Treatment in San Francisco, CA

Bunions are hard bony projections that are noted at the base of your big toe. They’re a part of the big toe joint that has been forced out of normal alignment and position due to ongoing pressure and force on the joint. Over time, these forces overpower the joint and put it outward, creating the deformity which can lead to pain and stiffness. Without treatment, the bunion will continue to get worse with the big toe sometimes crossing over into your other toes creating even more pain. Patients with bunions, even small ones, can have difficulty finding shoes that fit and can often get painful corns or blisters.
