Got Bunions?
You’re not alone. Did you know that ~25% of adults in the United States suffer from bunions?1
TIME Magazine recently published an article, “What to Do About Your Bunions” that highlights the common bone deformity in the , which often includes debilitating pain for millions of adults in the U.S, including one of our very own patients, April, who suffered from painful bunions on both her feet. When the pain caused by her bunions disrupted her everyday lifestyle, and April started to have trouble handling daily chores on her farm in Missouri, she knew it was time to seek treatment.
“When I went to the pool or the beach and would look at my feet, it was like ‘ugh’,” said April.

This National Foot Health Awareness Month, Treace is to erase the stigma and misinformation surrounding bunions and to expand our support for both patients and clinicians through our awareness and education initiatives.
