Bunion Correctors: Do They Actually Work?
Quick answer: Dr. Tom Biernacki, DPM explains the realities of bunion corrector effectiveness based on 20+ years of bunion expertise.
Conservative Options
Wide toe-box shoes, custom orthotics, toe spacers, padding, and night splints can reduce pain but won’t reverse the deformity. Surgery is the only true correction.
When Surgery Is the Answer
Surgery is the only way to correct the deformity itself. We examine your foot and X-rays and recommend the procedure that fits your joint.
