Overview

Hallux valgus, commonly known as a bunion, is a foot deformity where the big toe bends inward toward the other toes. This condition can cause pain, swelling, and a visible deformity at the base of the big toe joint. While it can be caused by genetics or shoe choices, hallux valgus treatment can significantly reduce pain, correct the deformity, and improve overall foot function. Treatment options range from conservative methods to surgical intervention, depending on the severity.
