Bunions are our specialty and can be successfully treated at the Foot and Ankle Center of Washington in Seattle. Our skilled podiatrists use conservative, effective therapies to relieve bunion pain and prevent it from returning.
The type of bunion treatment that is best for you will depend on a few factors: your foot type, the severity of the deformity, your activity level, and your symptoms. Download your free report – Ten Secrets to Relieve Bunion Pain.
If you have a bunion, you’ll notice pain in the big toe joint or an enlargement of the big toe joint. Bunions are closely related to Hallux Limitus and Hallux Rigidus. All of these problems can be treated non-surgically, but if not treated early, they will get worse overtime.
Studies show that bunion pain responds positively to custom orthotics and conservative treatments. For the best results, the orthotics must be made using non-weightbearing casts of your feet and follow precise casting methods. The feet should be in the proper position to ensure that the orthotics will have the best fit.
Both of our Seattle podiatrists have extensive training in orthotics and bunion pain. If the bunion does not respond to conservative therapies, bunion surgery is considered. We use strict criteria for determining if bunion surgery is necessary. Dr. Hale is our bunion surgical specialist and one of the top bunion surgeons in the United States.
