What’s a Bunion (Hallux Valgus), Anyway?

A bunion, or hallux valgus, is a bump that forms when your big toe starts leaning outward at the joint. It’s not just a looks thing – it can hurt, make walking tough, and squeeze your shoes. At Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic, we’re pros at fixing this common foot issue, helping you step easy in Dubai Marina.

How Common Are Bunions?

Bunions aren’t rare – about 2-4% of people get them, and women are nine times more likely than men to deal with them. Over 80% of the time, they show up on both feet! If ignored, they get worse, causing more pain and stiffness. Lucky for you, our bunion treatment JBR at this top orthopedic clinic JBR stops them in their tracks.

Why Do Bunions Happen?
Bunions don’t pop up out of nowhere. Here’s what can cause them:
  • Family Ties: If your mom or grandma had bunions, you might too.
  • Foot Shape: Flat feet or high arches can play a role.
  • Shoes: Tight heels don’t start bunions, but they sure make them grumpier.
  • Old Injuries: A banged-up foot from way back can set the stage.
    Our best orthopedic doctor Dubai figures out your cause and fixes it fast.
How Do Bunions Grow?
Bunions start small - a little toe tilt. Over time, they get bossy:
  • A painful bump forms where your toe meets your foot.
  • Your foot widens, making shoe shopping a chore.
  • Nearby toes might twist into hammer or claw shapes.
  • Walking or standing gets wobbly and sore.
    At Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic, we catch them early with foot care JBR that works.
What Do Bunions Feel Like?
Bunions can be a real pain - literally! Watch for these signs:
  • Aching or swelling around the bump, especially after a long day.
  • Shoes feeling tight or rubbing the wrong way.
  • Red, puffy skin near the bunion.
  • Big toe crowding or sliding over its neighbors in bad cases.
    Our top orthopedic clinic JBR has solutions to ease the hurt.
How We Spot Bunions

Figuring out if it’s a bunion is simple for us. Our best orthopedic doctor Dubai checks your foot for swelling, redness, or soreness. Then, we snap X-rays to see how far the toe’s gone off track and check for other trouble. At Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic, our bunion treatment Dubai Marina starts with knowing exactly what’s up.

Easy Fixes Without Surgery
Got a bunion that’s just starting? We’ve got gentle ways to help:
  • Splints & Spacers: Keep your toe in line and take the pressure off.
  • Foot Exercises: Stretch and strengthen to feel better.
  • Comfy Shoes: Wide toes boxes are your new best friend.
  • Custom Insoles: Support your foot the right way.
    These tricks from our foot care JBR team ease pain, even if they don’t fix the shape forever.
Surgery Options We Offer
When bunions get too bossy, surgery’s the answer. Our German-trained pros at Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic offer:
  • Akin Osteotomy: Trims bone to straighten your toe.
  • Chevron Osteotomy: A V-cut to shift things back in place.
  • Scarf Osteotomy: A Z-cut for big fixes.
  • Lapidus Arthrodesis: Locks the joint for tough cases.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery: Tiny cuts, fast healing, less scarring.
    Our orthopedic surgeon Dubai Marina makes bunion treatment JBR smooth and effective.
What Happens After Surgery?
Healing right is key, and we’ve got your back:
  • Bandages for 4 weeks to keep things safe.
  • A night splint for 6 weeks to hold your toe steady.
  • Crutches at first to take it easy.
  • Back to normal shoes in about 3 months.
  • Jogging or sports? Give it 3 months too.
    Our top orthopedic clinic JBR guides you every step to full recovery.
