Professional podiatry assessment and treatment for bunions, hammertoes, and pain caused by toe joint overload.

A bunion is a bony prominence that forms at the base of the big toe when the joint shifts outward.
Hammertoes occur when smaller toes bend or curl due to muscle imbalance or prolonged pressure.
Toe joint pain develops when excessive stress passes through the joints at the front of the foot during walking or standing.
Bunions, hammertoes, and toe joint pain develop when the structures of the forefoot and toes are exposed to ongoing pressure, imbalance, or abnormal movement, often influenced by genetic predisposition. Over time, inherited foot structure combined with mechanical stress can cause joints to become irritated, inflamed, or misaligned.
At Norwest Podiatry, we focus on reducing pain, improving joint function, and slowing progression through conservative, podiatry-led care.
