If a painful bump on the side of your big toe is making it tough to wear your everyday shoes… You might be dealing with a bunion.
When your foot structure is imbalanced, your big toe slowly shifts inward toward your second toe, forcing the main joint to aggressively bulge outward.
Next up? Inflammation, pain when you walk, or even nerve numbness. Bunions never fix themselves, but we can fix them together! Dr. Brian O’Neill can use weight-bearing X-rays to isolate your issue and find the right solution, whether it's activity modification and custom orthotics or surgical correction: https://pomonavalleypodiatry.com/services/bunions/
