Best Bunion Surgery
in Howell & Bloomfield Hills, Michigan
If you’re struggling with a painful bunion that makes walking, standing, or even wearing shoes uncomfortable, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to live with the pain. At Balance Foot & Ankle Specialist, we specialize in treating bunions with the latest surgical techniques to help you get back on your feet, pain-free and confident.
Bunions can do more than cause a bump on your big toe—they lead to real, lasting discomfort. Over time, they can affect your ability to move, stay active, or simply enjoy your day without foot pain. What starts as minor irritation can quickly escalate into joint stiffness, swelling, and long-term mobility issues.
That’s why early treatment matters. While non-surgical options can provide short-term relief, surgical bunion correction can realign your toe joint, eliminate pain, and restore your natural movement. Our experienced podiatrists will work with you to determine the best treatment option—so you can walk, move, and live with comfort again.
When Is Bunion Surgery Needed?
Bunion surgery is typically recommended when non-surgical treatments—like orthotics, padding, or lifestyle changes—no longer provide relief. If you’re experiencing consistent pain, swelling, or trouble walking, it may be time to consider surgical correction. Our podiatrists will assess your condition and determine if surgery is the best step toward long-term relief.
