The goal of bunion surgery in NJ is to correct as much deformity as possible and to relieve pain so that you can return to your normal level of activity. If you have severe hallux valgus that haven’t been treated, they can lead to ongoing issues, including damage to your other toes.
Pressure from your big toe may lead to the development of persistent corns or cause your toes to bend so that you end up with hammertoes. Shifting your weight away from the bunion leads to calluses or pain in the ball of your foot. You may decide to avoid exercising altogether because of the pain your bunion causes, but if you develop a sedentary lifestyle, you become at risk for other serious health issues.
