A bunion is a condition that develops when the big toe becomes enlarged with a painful swelling or “bump” where the toe joins the foot.

Some people have a genetic predisposition to bunions.

Some people get bunions from pronation - or the flattening of the arch when walking, especially on hard surfaces.

Bunions can be treated by wearing wider shoes, pads and orthotics, or in severe cases, surgery.

If you're experiencing pain or discomfort from bunions, Schedule an appointment with your Upperline podiatrist today!

Barbie's heel arch might look fabulous, but for real people, high heels can create stress for our feet.
Our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Michael King says, "The distinguished physicians cited in this article hit some key points. The human foot and arch is not designed for many of the stresses we put it through. It is critical for anyone wanting to add stresses to those arches to see a podiatric physician for and evaluation and discussion of how to avoid problems from those stresses."

A new trailer for ‘Barbie’ has fans fixated on Margot Robbie's articulated foot. Doctors and dancers don’t recommend trying it at home.
