Keep Your Feet Pain-Free!
Painful foot bunions can keep you from living your life the way you want to
Bunions are formed when the bone or tissue of the big toe moves out of place and causes the joint to bend outward. This causes a very painful lump of bone on the side of your foot.
This joint movement usually happens after years of faulty foot development or movement, and can be caused by the way you walk or the type of footwear you use.
If you think you may be suffering from a bunion, our doctors in Lehi can help diagnose the proper treatment.
