A bunion is a common foot deformity that occurs when the joint at the base of the big toe (metatarsophalangeal joint) enlarges and shifts out of alignment. This misalignment causes the big toe to angle toward the other toes, sometimes even overlapping them, leading to conditions such as Hallux Valgus and Hallux Abducto Valgus. The protruding joint can rub against footwear, causing friction, irritation, and inflammation. As the condition progresses, it often results in chronic pain and discomfort, making everyday activities like walking more difficult.

Many people with bunions experience pain due to the constant rubbing and friction against their shoes, resulting in redness and tenderness over the affected area. The flexing of this joint with every step exacerbates the pain, and over time, additional complications like bursitis, arthritis, or thickened skin on the bottom of the foot may develop.

At Active Recovery, we offer advanced, minimally invasive surgical techniques to remove bunions with minimal pain and downtime. Our approach includes the use of plastic surgery closing techniques, ensuring minimal scarring and improved cosmetic and functional outcomes.
