Bunion Surgery Myths

As a Podiatrist in Irvine CA. I see people on a daily basis with bunion pain. 

When conservative treatment fails surgery can help.

Myth 1. Surgery is vey painful
Myth 2. I have to be in a cast
Myth 3. It is not covered by insurance
Myth 4. There is general anesthesia.

Most people have very mild pain and are back in sneakers in about 3 weeks.  You are fully walking after surgery in a Velcro shoe.

There is no need for a cast

Most insurance companies cover the procedure

Anesthesia is usually light sedation. Patients feel no pain during surgery.  You will not hear or see anything.  You are sleeping during surgery and breathing on your own.

Bunion survey is very safe and effective in relieving pain.
