Bunion Treatment in Santa Monica, CA

Bunions

Bunions are a common foot deformity that occurs when the big toe pushes against the adjacent toe, causing the joint at the base of the big toe (the metatarsophalangeal joint) to protrude outward. This results in a bony bump on the side of the foot, which can be painful and may worsen over time if not addressed. Bunions can affect anyone but are more common in women due to the frequent wearing of tight or narrow footwear.
