Bunions

Bunion Treatment in Northwest Arkansas

Relieve pressure. Restore balance. Get back on your feet.

When a bunion starts to form, every step can remind you that something’s not quite right. That familiar bump near your big toe joint isn’t just a cosmetic concern — it’s a sign that your foot structure is shifting, which can cause pain, swelling, and make walking or wearing shoes uncomfortable.

At Arkansas Foot & Ankle Specialists, we understand how bunion pain can interfere with everything from your workouts to your workday. Our goal is simple: to ease your pain, correct the problem, and help you move comfortably again.

What’s Really Happening Under the Surface

A bunion develops when the big toe gradually drifts toward the smaller toes, causing the joint at the base of the big toe to stick out. This misalignment can be caused by:

Genetics or foot shape (bunions often run in families)
Improper footwear, especially tight or narrow shoes
Repetitive stress or activity, including running or prolonged standing
Underlying joint or ligament issues

Without proper care, bunions tend to worsen over time, leading to increased pain, limited mobility, and even joint damage. Early evaluation makes a real difference in keeping your foot healthy and preventing progression.

Personalized Care for Real Relief

Comprehensive Evaluation

Your visit begins with a thorough exam, imaging if needed, and a conversation about your symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. Understanding how you use your feet every day helps us craft the best plan for long-term relief.

Tailored Treatment Options

Not every bunion requires surgery. Many patients find lasting relief through conservative, non-surgical care:

Padding or shoe modifications to relieve friction and pressure
Activity adjustments or physical therapy to improve movement and reduce strain
Anti-inflammatory treatments to ease pain and swelling

If your bunion is severe or continues to worsen, we’ll discuss surgical correction options designed to restore alignment and relieve pain. Our surgeon uses precise, minimally invasive techniques focused on stability, comfort, and getting you back on your feet as quickly and safely as possible.
