Advanced, personalized surgical correction for bunion pain and deformity by Dr. Solomon

Bunions are one of the most common and painful foot deformities, often affecting both appearance and mobility.

With a background in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery, Dr. Solomon brings a functional and aesthetic perspective to every procedure, restoring alignment, reducing pain, and helping you return to daily life with greater ease and elegance.

What Is a Bunion?

A bunion, or hallux valgus, is a bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe. It occurs when the first metatarsal bone in the foot shifts outward while the big toe angles inward toward the second toe, creating an imbalance in foot structure and placing pressure on the joint.

Common Symptoms Include:

  • A visible bump on the inside of the foot near the big toe
  • Pain or tenderness around the joint
  • Swelling or redness
  • Limited movement of the big toe
  • Development of calluses or corns from overlapping toes
  • Difficulty wearing shoes comfortably

Bunions often worsen over time, especially without proper support, footwear changes, or medical intervention. They may also lead to other conditions such as bursitis, hammertoes, and chronic joint inflammation.

What Causes Bunions?

Multiple factors contribute to the development of bunions, and they often occur over many years.

Common Causes:

  • Genetics – Inherited foot structures prone to bunion formation
  • Improper footwear – Tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes that crowd the toes
  • Flat feet or abnormal gait – Poor mechanics that put extra pressure on the joint
  • Arthritis – Inflammatory joint conditions that affect alignment
  • Foot injuries or trauma – Previous fractures or ligament damage

Dr. Solomon evaluates each patient’s foot structure, medical history, and biomechanics to determine the underlying causes and recommend the most effective treatment.

Do I Need Bunion Surgery?

Not all bunions require surgery. Conservative treatments like custom orthotics, anti-inflammatory medications, footwear changes, and physical therapy may help relieve symptoms in mild cases. However, if the bunion continues to interfere with your daily life, surgery may be the best option.

You may be a candidate for bunion surgery if:

  • You have persistent pain that limits walking or exercise
  • You can’t wear most shoes without discomfort
  • You’ve tried non-surgical options without relief
  • You’re developing secondary problems like hammertoes or joint stiffness
  • Your bunion affects your posture or gait

What to Expect: Bunion Surgery Process

  1. Initial Consultation Dr. Solomon performs a comprehensive foot evaluation, discusses your symptoms, and orders X-rays to assess the severity of the deformity.
  2. Pre-Surgical Planning Once surgery is recommended, Dr. Solomon develops a personalized plan that includes surgical technique, expected recovery, and supportive therapy options.
  3. Surgery Day Most bunion surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia or mild sedation. Minimally invasive procedures can take under an hour.
  4. Recovery

  • You may wear a surgical shoe or boot
  • Elevation and limited weight-bearing in the early days
  • Return to regular shoes: 6–8 weeks for most patients
