BUNION REMOVAL IN BUFFALO, NY
Get Relief from Your Bunion Pain
A bunion is a common condition that can affect people of all ages. Bunions happen when some of the bones in the front part of your foot move out of place and cause the tip of your big toe to get pulled toward the smaller toes. Bunions, or the bony bump at the base of your big toe, are incredibly painful and will affect your movement. Bunions qualify as a foot deformity because of the bone and soft tissue. If you have bunions and are looking for a foot doctor in the Buffalo area, turn to Maurice M Gelia DPM.
