What is the treatment for bunions?

The good news is that bunions respond well to treatment and we can prepare a treatment plan for you.

In early cases with mild symptoms, changing your shoe wear and activity may be enough to ease symptoms. It may also be useful to consider orthotics. Simple over the counter analgesics can also be very helpful in alleviating symptoms in mild cases.

Surgery is performed when symptoms are severe or do not improve. Surgery is performed under general anaesthetic and is usually a day procedure.

Our foot and ankle surgeons will talk through the treatment options that are right for you. All surgery is tailored specifically to your bunion.

The symptoms usually resolve rapidly after surgery; however, all foot surgery tends to take a little longer than most people anticipate. We will take the time to talk with you about what to expect.
