Are you experiencing pain and discomfort due to a bunion or hammertoe?
Are you experiencing pain or discomfort in your foot?
It could be due to a bunion or hammertoe.
At South Hill Foot & Ankle Clinic, we understand how debilitating these conditions can be, and we are here to help.
What are Bunions?
Bunions are a common foot condition that affects the joint at the base of the big toe. When this joint becomes misaligned, it can cause the big toe to point towards the other toes, creating a bump on the side of the foot.
Over time, this can cause pain, discomfort, and difficulty wearing shoes.
What are Hammertoes?
Hammertoes are another common foot condition that occurs when the toe joint becomes bent or curled, causing the toe to point downwards. This can create a painful corn on the top of the toe and cause difficulty walking or wearing shoes.
Causes of Bunions and Hammertoes
Bunions and hammertoes can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, foot injuries, and wearing tight shoes or high heels. People with certain medical conditions such as arthritis and diabetes may also be more prone to developing these conditions.
