Bunions and Corns
A bunion is a bump at the base of the big toe that can become very painful and make fitting into shoes difficult. Podiatrists frequently perform surgery on these deformities, but conservative treatment options are also available. Bunion deformities often worsen throughout one’s lifetime and can cause wearing down of the joint cartilage as they progress. It is common to get cramping in the foot and bursitis with this deformity. All symptoms should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by the NYC podiatrist, Our Podiatrists for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan to exclude any underlying serious condition.
The bunion disrupts the alignment of the first metatarsal bone, causing it to move towards the inside of your foot as your big toe tends to move in the other direction. The more your big toe moves outward, the more your metatarsal moves inward, creating an even larger deformity. Your big toe can start hitting your second toe creating an additional site of pain. Our Podiatrists are well known for their skill in performing minimally-invasive bunion surgery, which allows for deformity correction with minimal to no scar.
If you have a bunion causing severe pain, schedule a visit with the leading podiatrists in NYC at New York City podiatry practice as soon as possible.
Are Bunions Linked to Corns?
Corns are thickened areas of skin caused by an increase in pressure or friction to an area. Corns can be caused by a prominent bone, limitations of joint motion, or certain shoes. Foot doctors see patients with bunions pretty much every day, and many of them also suffer from corns or calluses.
If you are experiencing painful bunions, corns, or calluses, speak to the top podiatrists in NYC about getting proper treatment. As a foot doctor and surgeon, we offer many conservative and surgical options to treat your foot pain.
