Bunion surgery in Murrieta CA
Our
bunion surgery in Murrieta CA is not our first option here at Temecula Valley Podiatry, but is an effective, safe procedure when simpler methods of treatment have proven to be insufficient to achieve the desired results. If it turns out that you do need bunion surgery, though, you can rest assured that it is done right here at our office, by our highly qualified and experienced foot surgeon. You can expect a positive outcome.
What are bunions to begin with, and what causes them? A bunion is a bone-like protrusion, usually appearing on the big toe, right at the base, where the joint attaches to the rest of the foot. When too much pressure is put on that joint, a bunion forms. That pressure can be due to tight shoes, especially around the toe area. High heels typically fit that bill, which accounts for why women develop bunions more frequently than men do. It's true, though, that anyone can get a bunion. There are no age limits and no specific medical conditions that are associated with them. And while bunions are very likely to cause pain, they may not when they first form. This is not a reason to ignore them, however. You probably will not need our bunion surgery in Murrieta CA initially. With a bit of good fortune, you may not need it at all. Shoe orthotics (inserts) and a change to roomier and more comfortable footwear is often enough to relieve bunions and make them disappear. If not, though, you should consult with our foot doctor and determine if our
bunion surgery in Murrieta CA is right for you.
Ultimately, what matters most is that you want to be able to walk without having any pain, and our office will do everything possible to make that happen in a timely manner. Contact us to book a time for an examination.
