A localized area
of prominence or enlargement of the inner part of the joint at the base of the
big toe is known as a bunion. Bunions expose you to other conditions, such as
arthritis, if left untreated. This condition denies you the freedom to enjoy
your life and perform your routine day-to-day activities due to the agonizing
pain of this foot condition.
Treatment Options
for Bunions
Non-surgical
treatments like medication, wearing comfortable shoes, padding & taping,
and shoe inserts can help you to relieve the pressure and pain resulting from a
bunion. These treatments, however, do not get rid of the foot condition. The
surgical treatment done by a licensed toe surgeon in Long Beach involves
an incision on the toe joint to align or remove the soft tissue or bone.
Benefits of
Surgical Treatments
They Help
You to Increase Your Physical Activities
People suffering
from a bunion tend to shy away from essential daily activities such as
exercising and walking as they cannot stand to go through the pain all the
time. With surgery, they can approach life just like everyone else without such
agonizing pain.
Relieve
Pain Quickly
Most of the
patients who have had bunion surgery by an experienced bunion doctor in Long Beach noted
that it helped to end their agonizing pain. Bunion surgery aims to achieve
long-term comfort and relief for the patients suffering from a bunion.
Surgery
Boosts Self-Confidence
This foot
condition makes the big toe push towards the smaller ones, which make the feet
appear deformed. As a result, the patient will tend to shy away from removing
shoes or wearing open-toed footwear in public. Surgery will help these patients
become comfortable with their feet once again.
