Excellent Care, Friendly Staff & Best Treatment Plans

Bunion Treatment in Central Florida

Bunions — those bony bumps at the base of the big toe — are far more than a cosmetic concern. They can cause significant pain and chip away at your quality of life. At Central Florida Foot & Ankle Institute, we specialize in advanced bunion correction designed to relieve discomfort and restore function.

What Are Bunions?

A bunion, medically known as hallux valgus, is a deformity where the big toe drifts toward the smaller toes, creating a swollen, bony bump along the side of the foot. Bunions develop from an imbalance in the foot's structure and can be made worse by tight shoes, genetics, and the way your foot moves.

Symptoms That May Indicate a Bunion

• Persistent or intermittent pain
• A bulging bump on the outside of the base of your big toe
• Limited movement in your big toe
• Difficulty fitting comfortably into shoes
• Corns or calluses, often where the first and second toes overlap

Our Approach to Bunion Correction

Our podiatric experts tailor treatment to the severity of the bunion and the needs of each patient:

• Conservative Management — Specialized footwear, custom orthotics, and physical therapy to ease symptoms without surgery.
• Minimally Invasive Techniques — Procedures using smaller incisions to reduce recovery time and discomfort.
• Traditional Bunion Surgery — Surgical reconstruction to correct the misaligned bones.
• Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction — A cutting-edge procedure that addresses the root cause of the bunion in three dimensions.

Advanced Surgical Options

When surgery is the right path, our team draws on the latest advancements in podiatric surgery to deliver the best possible outcomes:

• Lapiplasty® — A patented procedure that realigns and stabilizes the metatarsal bone at its foundation, offering a lasting correction with a quicker recovery.
• Osteotomy — Traditional surgical cutting of the bone to correct alignment.
• Exostectomy — Removal of the bump on the toe joint without realigning the toe.
• Arthrodesis — Fusion of the affected joint for cases involving severe arthritis or deformity.

Postoperative Care and Recovery

We provide comprehensive care after surgery, including:

• Pain management strategies
• Rehabilitation exercises
• Footwear guidance to help prevent recurrence
• Follow-up appointments to monitor your healing
