Bunion Deformity
Painful bunions on the side of the foot are a common complaint. They are aggravated by shoes and may develop a range of complications, including corns and bursitis.
At Great Lakes Foot & Ankle Centers, we have seen and treated a lot of bunions, and know when to move on from non-invasive procedures to surgery.
Diagnosis
Signs of bunion deformity include not only the pain but a drifting of the great toe toward the second toe, slight swelling, redness and, rarely, acute inflammation.
Treatment
Conservative treatments for bunions include shoe modification, padding, and orthoses.
