Bunions are a common foot condition where the big toe joint becomes misaligned, leading to a noticeable bump on the side of the foot. Over time, this can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty wearing certain shoes.

At The Foot Clinics, we provide expert bunion assessment and treatment across Albury, Wodonga and Wagga Wagga. Our focus is on reducing pain, improving foot function, and slowing progression without unnecessary surgery.

BUNIONS

What are Bunions?

A bunion is a structural deformity of the big toe joint, where the toe gradually shifts out of alignment and the joint becomes more prominent. This can lead to increased pressure, irritation, and inflammation in the area.

Bunions often develop slowly over time and can worsen if not properly managed, affecting both comfort and foot function.

BUNIONS

What Causes Bunions?

Bunions are commonly caused by a combination of genetics and foot structure. People with certain foot types are more prone to developing bunions over time.

Other contributing factors include tight or narrow footwear, prolonged pressure on the forefoot, and biomechanical issues that place excess stress on the big toe joint.
