Raise your hand if you've been "watching and waiting" on a bunion. 🙋‍♀️

This patient had hers for over 20 years. She managed it — orthotics, supportive shoes, careful choices. Years ago a surgeon told her fixing it meant 6 to 8 weeks off her feet entirely. With young kids and a full life, that wasn't happening.

So she adapted. And the bunion kept growing.

By the time she came to us, the bone was hitting the floor when she walked. Long walks were gone. Normal shoes were impossible. And the sharp pain at the ball of her foot she'd written off as "just how her feet felt"? Her second toe — creating pressure with every single step.

Here's what most patients don't realize: a bunion rarely travels alone. As the big toe drifts, neighboring toes compensate. What starts as one problem quietly becomes several.

With minimally invasive bunion correction — no large incisions, no screws or pins, recovery that fits real life — we addressed the whole picture at once.

She's already back on the Pilates reformer. She just wishes she hadn't waited so long.

If that resonates, it's time to have a real conversation. 📲 Link in bio.

Why do heels crack more in the summer? ☀️🦶

More sandals. More barefoot walking. More heat. More dehydration.

Summer creates the perfect storm for dry, thickened skin and painful heel fissures.

What starts as “just dry skin” can eventually become:

• Deep cracks
• Pain with walking
• Skin breakdown
• Even infection in some patients

One of the biggest mistakes we see?
People aggressively scraping or filing their heels while ignoring the underlying problem: pressure + loss of skin barrier function.

A few things that actually help:
✔️ Supportive sandals/shoes
✔️ Daily moisturizing
✔️ Medical-grade foot care products
✔️ Addressing underlying foot mechanics
✔️ Hydration and skin maintenance

At Align Foot & Ankle, we frequently recommend products like Skin -Integra Rapid Crack Repair and -Tolcylen soaks/topicals to help restore hydration and improve dry, fissured skin.

Your feet carry you all summer long. They deserve a little maintenance too.

This is what it looks like when someone gets her life back.

She’s a former marathon runner. For years, painful hammertoes changed the way she walked, made shoes miserable, and eventually made running impossible.

In fact, the pain became so severe that years ago, she chose to have her toenails permanently removed just to keep running rather than pursue surgery she feared would sideline her.

That’s how long she pushed through.

What most people don’t realize is that hammertoes don’t just affect appearance — they affect function. When your toes are contracted and painful, your body compensates. Your stride changes, your posture shifts, and extra stress moves into your knees, hips, and beyond.

The good news? This is correctable.

At Align, minimally invasive hammertoe correction uses small, precise incisions to realign the toe with less soft tissue disruption than traditional open surgery.

That means:
🔹 Smaller incisions
🔹 Less swelling and discomfort
🔹 Quicker return to activity
🔹 Outcomes focused on function — not just appearance

We don’t just want your feet to look better.

We want you back doing what you love.

Today, we remember. 🇺🇸

Memorial Day isn't the start of summer, it's a sacred pause to honor the men and women who gave everything for this country.

Many will mark today by taking on the Murph — 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, 1 mile run — a legendary tribute to U.S. Navy SEAL Lt. Michael P. Murphy, killed in action in Afghanistan in 2005. Every rep, a reminder of what sacrifice truly looks like.

If you're pushing through those miles today, we'll be here to help you recover. But more importantly — we'll be here, like so many Americans, grateful for those who have sacrificed so much for our country.

Grateful for the freedoms we walk on every single day.

To Lt. Murphy, and to every fallen hero — thank you. You are not forgotten. 🙏🏼🇺🇸

Happy National Physical Activity and Sports Month from our team here at Align Foot and Ankle! 🤘🦶

Austin in May means the Greenbelt, morning runs before the heat hits, weekend pickleball, and trail rides. And for us, it means taking a moment to talk about the thing that makes all of it possible: your feet.

Here's what we see every day: foot pain that started as a small signal weeks ago that got pushed through—until it couldn't be anymore. The patients who come in early are the ones back out there the fastest.

At Align, we start with a real evaluation: how you move, how you load, what's actually driving the problem. From there, your plan might include custom orthotics, targeted stretching, footwear guidance, or regenerative options like SoftWave, Class IV laser, or DPMx injections. MIS surgery can also be an option when conservative care isn't enough.

Don't wait until you're sidelined. If something's been nagging you, this month is your sign. 👇

Today is International Virtual Assistants Day and we just want to take a second to say, thank you. 💻🤍

Behind every answered message, every scheduled appointment, every "I'll take care of it" is a person who shows up every single day with focus and flexibility under pressure. Virtual assistants don't just support a practice or a business, they hold it together. They catch what falls through the cracks before anyone even knows there was a crack.

At Align, we know firsthand that great care starts long before a patient ever walks through the door. It starts with the communication, the follow-through, the details. And that's exactly what VAs do, quietly and consistently, every single day.

If you have a virtual assistant in your corner — today's a great day to tell them what they mean to you. And if you ARE a VA — thank you. You are seen and you are appreciated . 🙌
