Understanding bunions, and how we help in Murfreesboro.
Looking for help with bunions in Murfreesboro? Our Murfreesboro clinic at 536 N Thompson Ln, Suite F offers exams, treatment, and follow up close to home.
A bunion is a bony bump on the inside of the foot at the base of the big toe. It forms when the big toe leans toward the second toe and the joint shifts out of line. Over time, the bump can grow, and the joint can get sore and stiff.
Bunions can run in families and are seen in adults and in teens. Getting a look early lets us slow the change and pick the best time to act.
Also called: Hallux Valgus

Diagnosis and care
How we treat bunions in Murfreesboro.
Step 1 · Diagnosis
We look at how the big toe sits, how the joint moves, and how you walk. Weight-bearing X-rays measure the angle of the toe and the joint so we can see how much it has shifted. This helps us decide between shoe and support changes or a surgical plan.
Step 2 · Treatment
Wider shoes with a soft, roomy toe box are the first step. Bunion pads, toe spacers, and custom orthotics can ease pressure and pain. Icing and, at times, an injection can calm a sore joint. Care can ease symptoms, but it does not straighten a bunion.
Surgery is an option when pain limits daily life despite good non-surgical care. There are several types of bunion procedures, and we match the choice to your foot and your goals.

When to book

See a podiatrist if a bunion hurts, rubs, or makes shoe fitting hard. Also come in if the toe is crowding others or a teen shows early signs.
