The Hidden Culprit Behind Your Big Toe Troubles
Unmasking the Bunion: More Than Just a Bump
Are you noticing a bony protrusion at the base of your big toe, accompanied by discomfort and pain? You might be dealing with a bunion, a common foot condition affecting millions worldwide.
A bunion, medically known as hallux valgus, is a progressive deformity of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint at the base of the big toe. As the condition advances, the big toe begins to lean towards the second toe, causing the joint to protrude outwards. The American Podiatric Medical Association recognizes bunions as a significant foot problem that can substantially impact foot function and overall quality of life.
At PS Foot and Ankle, we provide comprehensive evaluations, including same-day, in-office X-rays, to accurately diagnose your bunion and assess its severity. This immediate imaging allows us to develop a tailored treatment plan during your initial visit, ensuring prompt and effective care.
Key indicators of a bunion:
- A visible, bony bump at the base of the big toe
- Pain or tenderness around the affected joint
- Redness and swelling in the area
- Difficulty finding comfortable footwear
- Restricted range of motion in the big toe
