What are bunions?

Not all bunions require surgery. Dr Sterling prefers to only undertake bunion surgery when necessary due to pain being experienced as a result of the bunion, due to the associated risks of any surgery. Sometimes, certain footwear choices can assist with the management of bunions. If you are considering bunion surgery, or would like to know more, please get in touch with our administration team to arrange a consultation. 

What causes bunions?

Bunions can occur as a result of a family history, and this is the most common cause of bunions. Bunions can also occur following an injury, or from sports which cause repeated stress to the foot. Shoe choices can also contribute to the formation or severity of bunions.
