Advanced Foot Care’s innovative bunion treatment options help to end discomfort and pain

When you first think of bunions, you might assume that they are a problem that elderly women develop after years of squeezing their feet into narrow high heels. However, the reality is that bunions are an extremely common condition. So what exactly is a bunion? A bunion is a progressive bone deformity caused by an unstable joint that misaligns the big toe, which can lead to discomfort and severe pain, affecting daily activities and mobility, even for those who were once very active. Advanced Foot Care offers The Lapiplasty® Procedure, which addresses all three dimensions of the bone deformity that causes bunions and allows many patients to get back on their feet within 2 weeks in a walking boot, enabling them to get back to physical activities within 4-6 months after surgery. (*Healing times can vary, and it is important for patients and their surgeons to work together to ensure a safe and proper recovery.) To learn more about the procedure, visit www.footspecialist.com, or give them a call at (281) 292-7000. Watch as Lauren Kelly chats with Dr. Thomas Pignetti, a Podiatrist from Advanced Foot Care all about a corrective procedure they offer to end discomfort and pain.
