A bunion is far more than a simple bump on the side of the foot. It is a progressive condition in which the joint at the base of the big toe gradually moves out of alignment. As the big toe shifts towards the smaller toes, the joint becomes more prominent, swollen, and painful.
Many people live with bunions for years because they believe the condition is only cosmetic. However, bunions can make everyday activities difficult. Walking may become painful, certain shoes may no longer fit comfortably, and some patients find they avoid exercise because of the discomfort.
Mr Pavel Akimau offers modern bunion treatment designed to reduce pain and improve mobility. The right treatment depends on the size of the bunion, the severity of symptoms, and the effect the condition is having on daily life.
In the early stages, simple changes may provide relief. Wider footwear can reduce pressure on the bunion. Shoes with soft uppers and a wider toe box are often more comfortable than narrow or pointed styles.
Orthotic insoles can also help by improving the position of the foot and reducing stress on the big toe joint. Padding around the bunion may make shoes more comfortable, while anti-inflammatory medication can help manage swelling and pain.
Although these treatments can ease symptoms, they do not correct the underlying deformity. If the bunion continues to worsen or begins to affect mobility, surgery may be the most effective option.
Modern bunion surgery is much more advanced than many patients realise. Procedures are designed not only to improve the appearance of the foot but also to correct the position of the bones and restore function.
Mr Pavel Akimau carefully assesses the structure of the foot before recommending surgery. Different techniques may be used depending on the severity of the bunion. In many cases, the bone is repositioned and fixed with small screws. The toe is then realigned into a more natural position.
Recovery from bunion surgery has also improved significantly. Most patients are able to walk immediately in a special protective shoe. Swelling gradually settles over several weeks, and patients can usually return to normal activities within a few months.
By treating bunions early and effectively, patients can enjoy less pain, improved mobility, and greater confidence in their footwear choices.
