Bunions Treatment

A bunion is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe, often causing pain and difficulty finding comfortable footwear. Dr. Sanjay Rawat provides effective bunions treatment in Indore, from conservative management to surgical correction for advanced deformities.

About Bunions Treatment

A bunion develops when the big toe joint becomes misaligned, causing the toe to angle toward the other toes and creating a bony prominence on the inner side of the foot. Bunions often worsen gradually over time and can be aggravated by tight or narrow footwear, genetic predisposition, or underlying foot mechanics. In addition to the visible deformity, bunions can cause significant pain, swelling, and difficulty walking in advanced cases.

Symptoms of Bunions Treatment

• A visible bony bump at the base of the big toe
• Pain and swelling around the joint

• Difficulty wearing regular shoes comfortably
