A bunion, or hallux valgus, is more than a cosmetic concern. It’s a structural misalignment of the big toe joint that can cause inflammation, pain, and difficulty finding comfortable shoes. Over time, bunions can worsen and affect balance, joint stability, and even posture.

At Forward Foot & Ankle Center in Livermore, we combine advanced diagnostics and personalized care to treat bunions at every stage. Our podiatrist evaluates your joint alignment, gait, and footwear habits. Depending on your needs, we may recommend custom orthotics, toe spacers, padding, laser therapy for inflammation, or specialized footwear to slow progression. When conservative care isn’t enough, we offer modern bunion correction techniques designed for faster recovery and improved comfort.

Our goal is simple — restore natural alignment, reduce pain, and help you return to your active lifestyle without limitations.

If your bunion is beginning to interfere with daily activities or shoe fit, it’s time to act. Book your bunion evaluation today and move toward long-lasting relief.
