When to See a Podiatrist
If your bunion is regularly causing you pain or affecting the way you walk, then it’s time to turn to a podiatrist for care. If at-home care isn’t providing you with relief from your symptoms, then you should also turn to us so that we can provide you with other treatment options.
When to Consider Bunion Surgery
How do you know when it’s time to consider surgery? The most obvious sign is that home treatment and other conservative care isn’t working. If you’ve been trying to get your pain under control for months without success, or if the pain is severe and affecting your daily routine and quality of life, then surgery may actually be the best way to correct the deformity and relieve your pain.
