Dr. Jess R. Drezner of Podiatry Associates Group Treats Bunions in Wyomissing, PA
A bunion is a common foot condition characterized as a bump on the joint at the base of the big toe. This bump forms when the bone moves out of place, forcing the big toe to bend toward the others. Because this joint bears a lot of the body’s weight while walking and standing, bunions can cause a great deal of pain if left untreated. Not only can they make walking difficult, but even wearing shoes can cause pain. If you’re experiencing bunions, you don’t have to suffer; Dr. Jess R. Drezner of Podiatry Associates Group can treat your condition in Wyomissing, PA.
Bunions form due to faulty foot development caused either by an improper gait or from an inherited foot type. When the joint at the base of the great toe becomes unbalanced due to this faulty development, it leads to instability that can cause bunions to develop after years of abnormal motion and pressure wear on the joint.
If you are experiencing a firm bump on your inner foot at the base of the big toe or redness, swelling or pain near the joint, you have most likely developed a bunion and should schedule an appointment with your podiatrist immediately. Dr. Drezner can provide you with treatment to stop the progression of the condition. Treatment varies based on the severity of the bunion, and conservative treatment is usually tried first. These treatment options include padding of the bunion to minimize pain, taping the foot into normal position, physical therapy and custom orthotics. In extreme cases, surgery is required.
