Bunion Correction

What To Expect

  • 1. Structural Correction of the Toe Joint

    The procedure is performed to correct the underlying deformity contributing to bunion formation, based on individual assessment.

  • 2. Functional Movement Support

    For appropriate candidates, treatment may assist in improving toe function and weight distribution during walking.

  • 3. Progressive Deformity Management

    Early surgical intervention may help prevent further progression of the bunion in suitable cases.

The Procedure

Bunion treatment addresses the discomfort and deformity caused by bunions using surgical or non-surgical approaches, depending on the severity of the condition. This procedure is performed by a qualified practitioner and may be suitable for individuals experiencing pain, joint swelling, or progressive deformity of the toe joint.

In accordance with Australian regulations, specific treatment details will be discussed during your consultation.

  • Results: Individual outcomes vary and will be discussed with your practitioner during consultation.
  • Downtime: Recovery varies depending on the treatment approach. Most people are able to walk with a surgical shoe shortly after surgery, return to trainer style footwear within two to eight weeks, and resume normal activity levels by around three months. Your practitioner will advise based on your individual circumstances.
  • Discomfort: Sensations vary between individuals. Pain management options will be discussed with your practitioner prior to treatment.
