Bunions are more than just a bump on the side of your foot—they can be a constant source of pain, limit your mobility, and make it difficult to wear the shoes you love. At Premier Orthopaedic Associates, we understand how disruptive bunion pain can be, and we offer cutting-edge bunion treatments to help patients across Southern Jersey get back on their feet—comfortably and confidently.
What Is a Bunion?
A bunion (also known as hallux valgus) is a deformity of the big toe joint. It develops when the bones in the front part of the foot move out of place, causing the big toe to lean toward the second toe. Over time, this misalignment leads to a visible bump at the base of the big toe—often accompanied by:
- Pain and swelling
- Redness or soreness around the joint
- Restricted toe movement
- Difficulty wearing shoes
- Corns or calluses
Bunions can be caused by genetics, improper footwear, flat feet, or arthritis—and they tend to worsen over time if not treated.
When Should You Seek Bunion Treatment?
If your bunion is causing pain, limiting your activities, or affecting your quality of life, it’s time to consult a foot and ankle specialist. Early intervention can slow the progression and help you avoid more invasive procedures down the road.
