The Bunion Cure at Northwest Surgery Center
We offer treatment options for bunions, hammertoes, heel spurs, and other foot deformities.
Hammertoes
A hammertoe is a shortening deformity that occurs in one or both of the joints in the little toes. The most common toes that get affected are the second and third toes. This kind of abnormal bending forces the toes to curl under the feet and causes a great deal of foot pain, especially when one is wearing shoes. While pain caused by hammertoes can be managed with physical therapy or the use of special foot pads when walking, minimally invasive surgery from The Bunion Cure at Northwest Surgery Center is a great way to quickly and permanently fix hammertoes.
Heel Spurs
A bunion is a painful condition that causes a bony bump to form on the joint at the base of your big toe. Bunions occur when the alignment of one’s foot changes, causing the big toe to curve inward due to pressure. While bunions are an extremely common occurrence, they are often quite painful and when left untreated can be a hindrance to everyday life. Pain most commonly occurs when the bunion rubs against a shoe or against other toes, as well as in the ball of the foot due to misalignment. A bunion requires the diagnosis of a physician. If you have a painful lump on the joint of your toe and think you might be a good candidate for bunion surgery, The Bunion Cure at Northwest Surgery Center can help you receive a diagnosis and determine your best option for treatment.
1. Free Consultation
We offer free consultations for patients at both of our offices in Colorado and Wisconsin. X-rays will be taken and reviewed by the surgeon, who will examine your foot to make a diagnosis and discuss treatments for bunions, hammertoes, and heel spurs.
2. Minimally Invasive Procedure
When undergoing a minimally invasive bunion surgery or other medical procedure at The Bunion Cure, you will be treated in one of our modern surgery facilities where we use the latest technologies and equipment. A small incision is made under local anesthesia with specially designed surgical equipment for the incision. The procedure is done through a 1/4″ incision and covered by a small bandage after.
3. Fast Recovery
After your procedure, you will spend a short period of time resting in our designated recovery area. Family members can visit you in this comfortable environment. Once cleared, you will be able to walk and drive home! You should be able to return to your daily routine with hardly any disruption; some patients are able to work the next day. A follow-up call is made to check on your recovery and answer any questions. You may be required to wear a post-operative shoe.
Minimally invasive procedures such as bunion surgery not only work to provide immediate and lasting relief from the pain of orthopedic medical issues, but are the best treatment option for those who do not want to deal with a long, painful, or restrictive recovery process when treating such issues. If you think you are experiencing bunions, hammertoes, heel spurs, or other complications that might make you a good candidate for a minimally invasive surgical procedure, contact The Bunion Cure at Northwest Surgery Center today. We specialize in minimally invasive orthopedic surgery, and our helpful, experienced staff can help give you relief from pain as quickly and efficiently as possible.
