Are you suffering from bunions and the discomfort they bring?
Here at Podiatry and Gait Clinics, we encounter bunions frequently. Whether they’re mild or severe, bunions can significantly impact your daily activities and overall foot health. Our experienced team are here to help alleviate your pain and improve your quality of life. Bunions are often characterised by a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe, which can be accompanied by swelling, soreness, and restricted movement.
Achilles tendon pain can be related to:
Genetic predisposition
Wearing tight or ill-fitting shoes
Arthritis
Foot injuries
Neuromuscular conditions
Flat feet
Overpronation (excessive rolling inwards of the foot)
