Bunion Correction
Bunions are a condition that can affect the toes. It is one of the most common foot problems. On average, 10%-25% of people have or will experience a bunion in their lifetime. A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe. Some people may experience bunionettes that form on the side of the pinky toe.
This condition forms when the bones of the toe move out of place. This forces the toes to move inward and the joint to protrude outwards. This condition can be painful, leading to other foot problems such as corns, calluses, and hammer toes.
