Bunions – NaplesPodiatrist

Bunion Center

Treatment & Surgery

Relieve Pain. Restore Function. Walk Comfortably Again.

Are you suffering from a painful bump at the base of your big toe? You may have a bunion, a common foot deformity that can
worsen over time if left untreated. At Family Foot & Leg Center, our experienced team provides both conservative and advanced
surgical options to help you walk pain-free.

What Is a Bunion?

A bunion (hallux valgus) is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe. Over time, this joint can become misaligned, causing the big toe to lean toward the second toe. This misalignment can lead to discomfort, swelling, redness, and even changes in how you walk.

Symptoms of Bunions

A visible bump on the side of the big toe joint
Pain or tenderness in the joint
Swelling or redness around the toe
Difficulty wearing shoes comfortably
Restricted toe movement

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to consult a podiatrist.

Bunion Treatment Options

At Naples Podiatrist, we believe in personalized care. Not every bunion requires surgery. Our first approach is always non-surgical treatment, especially in early stages or for mild to moderate bunions.

Conservative Treatments

Custom orthotics
Shoe modifications
Padding and taping
Anti-inflammatory medications
Cortisone injections

These options can help relieve pain and slow the progression of the deformity.

When Is Bunion Surgery Needed?

If conservative care no longer brings relief, or if the bunion continues to worsen and limits your mobility, surgery may be the best option. We offer advanced surgical techniques that correct the deformity, reduce pain, and restore proper alignment.

Bunion Surgery We Offer

We specialize in both traditional and advanced surgical procedures, including:

Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction: A groundbreaking, patented technique that corrects the bunion in all three dimensions and stabilizes the root cause of the deformity.
Minimally Invasive Bunion Surgery: Smaller incisions, faster recovery, and less scarring.
Osteotomy and realignment procedures

Our podiatrists will explain your options and guide you toward the best surgical plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle.

What to Expect From Bunion Surgery

Outpatient procedure
Local anesthesia or sedation
Weight-bearing in a surgical boot (in many cases)
Return to normal footwear within weeks (depending on procedure)
Long-term pain relief and improved foot function
