Get Rid of Bunions in Brick NJ
Brick Bunion Doctor
Unfortunately, many patients reaching out to schedule an appointment with a podiatrist are already experiencing a considerable amount of pain and perhaps some frustration for not being able to treat their foot problem at home. Among the painful foot conditions treated by Dr. Theodore D’Amato are bunions. Bunions are fairly common and identified easily when present near the big toe. The condition involves the movement of the metatarsal bone as it spreads out causing the big toe to shift in and seem to point toward the other toes. The joint then becomes deformed, enlarged and generally weak. Pain occurs as the side of the joint is continuously rubbed by shoes. Additionally, the joint can become stiff or sore with painful arthritis. Patients are often concerned about the cause of their bunion, which is frequently hereditary as well as finding relief and effective treatment. Your
Brick bunion doctor, Dr. Theodore D’Amato can provide answers and solutions.
During the early stages of a bunion, eliminating pain and a suggested course of action from Dr. Theodore D’Amato, your
Brick bunion doctor and podiatrist, may include the use of non-invasive treatment such as foot orthotics. The use of these devices in conjunction with modified shoes may provide immediate relief. As bunions progress and if left untreated, they may be accompanied by thick toenails, hammertoes, the presence of callus’, shin splints and pain in the knee, hip as well as the lower back. Dr. D’Amato will identify which stage your bunion is currently characterized in and recommend an effective bunion treatment plan. In addition to providing a physical evaluation, we encourage patients to share any other related medical conditions or history and address any concerns they may have regarding their bunion during an informative two-way discussion.
