02What Is Bunions?
A bunion, or hallux valgus, is a change in alignment at the joint at the base of the big toe. The big toe angles toward the second toe, and a prominence develops on the inside of the foot. Symptoms range from mild shoe irritation to pain that limits walking. At Vertex Podiatry in Columbus, Ohio, Dr. Guy Golan evaluates symptoms, joint motion, and alignment to discuss nonsurgical care and, when appropriate, surgical correction. Not every bunion requires surgery or qualifies for a minimally invasive approach.
