Bunions are a common foot condition that can cause discomfort, pain, and difficulty with daily activities. They appear as a bony bump on the side of the big toe, often resulting from genetics, foot structure, or pressure from ill-fitting shoes. Over time, bunions can worsen, leading to inflammation, swelling, and trouble walking.
At Kentuckiana Foot and Ankle, our experienced team knows how frustrating bunions can be. That’s why we offer a range of treatment options tailored to your needs.
When conservative care isn’t enough, our board-certified podiatrists may recommend surgery. Options include:

Some of the most common bunion symptoms include swelling, redness, and pain around the big toe joint, difficulty wearing shoes due to the protrusion, and restricted movement in the affected toe. Over time, bunions may also cause calluses or corns from friction with footwear.
You should see a podiatrist for bunion treatment if you experience persistent pain, difficulty walking, swelling, redness, or if the bunion is worsening over time. It's also a good idea to consult a podiatrist if non-surgical remedies like shoe modifications, padding, or orthotics aren’t providing relief. Early treatment can prevent the condition from worsening.
Bunionectomy surgery is typically necessary when a bunion causes significant pain, interferes with daily activities, or does not improve with non-surgical treatments like wearing wider shoes, using orthotics, or taking anti-inflammatory medications. It may also be recommended if the bunion leads to deformities or other foot problems.
