You may have heard some negative things from people when talking about seeking treatment for your bunions. People may have told you that bunion surgery doesn’t work or even makes the pain worse, and this comes from the past experiences of people who may have had bunion surgery performed a long time ago or by a doctor who wasn’t an expert.
If you find yourself feeling nervous about seeking treatment for your bunions because you’ve heard those kinds of statements, you’re certainly not alone. You should only trust an expert foot surgeon to perform bunion surgery successfully, and unfortunately the horror stories are often born because of the surgeon, not because of the surgery itself.
Your treatment options for bunions will vary based on how severe your bunions are, but even in cases that aren’t severe, bunions can be very painful.
Some of the recommended treatments for bunions include:
Of course it’s always best to develop a custom treatment plan for your bunions based on your unique situation and needs, which is why Advanas Foot & Ankle Specialists takes a consultative approach. It’s important that your foot doctor takes the time to get to know your feet and your unique condition with you so that you can come up with the best possible treatment plan together.
And if you do need surgery, it can be performed by one of our Board Certified Foot & Ankle Surgeons, in the convenience of our Joint Commission accredited surgical suite. So you don’t have to go the hospital or surgery center.
Depending on the severity of your bunions, surgery may involve local or general anesthesia. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis and typically takes about an hour. Healing time varies from one case to the next, and you should go over this with your foot surgeon when discussing your unique case.
At Advanas Foot & Ankle Specialists, we take a consultative approach, which means we partner with you to ultimately offer a more accurate diagnosis and the best possible treatment options for your bunions.
