April 21 is National Bunion Day—and it’s the perfect reminder that bunions are more than just a “bump.”
They are a progressive structural deformity that affects millions of people—and can significantly impact your ability to move, exercise, and even wear shoes comfortably.
👣 ~1 in 4 adults are affected
👣 They don’t go away on their own
👣 And no—your favorite heels aren’t the root cause
The biggest mistake I see?
Waiting too long to address them.
The earlier we evaluate and guide treatment, the better the long-term outcome.
Whether it’s better footwear, orthotics, or understanding when surgery is appropriate, there are more options than ever to help patients stay active and pain-free.
✨ You don’t have to just “live with it”
If you’ve noticed changes in your foot shape or pain at your big toe joint—this is your sign to get it checked.
