Is surgery always required for bunions near Pontiac, MI?
No. The majority of bunion patients near Pontiac avoid surgery entirely. Dr. Biernacki first exhausts conservative options—custom orthotics, wide-toe-box shoes, cortisone injections, and physical therapy—before considering surgical realignment. Surgery is only recommended when deformity is severe or quality of life is significantly impacted.

When to See a Podiatrist
A bunion is a progressive joint deformity — padding and splints reduce pain but don’t reverse the bone shift. If the big toe angle is worsening, shoes no longer fit, or pain is disrupting sleep or activity, schedule a consult at Balance Foot & Ankle. Our surgeons perform minimally-invasive bunion correction with faster recovery than traditional osteotomy. We’ll review X-rays with you and explain exactly what the joint needs.
