Most patients with bunions eventually require surgery to resolve the issue, you might not require surgery right away for mild cases of bunions. Our team may recommend orthotic solutions that can accommodate the changing shape of your foot and can reduce the pain you feel when walking. If your case of bunions has progressed and now causes constant pain even when you are not walking, however, the medical professionals at Ideal Foot & Ankle Group will probably recommend a surgical procedure to realign the bones and joints in your foot and to promote the greatest mobility for you. Depending on the severity of your bunions, you may even be a candidate for minimally invasive bunion surgeries that can reduce scarring and can shorten your recovery time after your procedure.
