Finding the Right Doctor
Podiatrist
A podiatrist (DPM) specializes in foot and ankle conditions. They are the primary specialist for bunion diagnosis, non-surgical management, and can refer for surgery when needed.
Orthopedic Surgeon
An orthopedic surgeon specializing in the foot and ankle performs bunion surgery. Seek one who performs bunion correction procedures regularly for the best outcomes.
Physiotherapist
A physiotherapist can design an exercise program specifically for bunion management, gait correction, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Ask for referral from your GP.
Questions to Ask Your Doctor
Going to your first podiatrist appointment? Bring this list:
What stage is my bunion currently at?
How quickly is it likely to progress?
What non-surgical treatments do you recommend for me specifically?
Would custom orthotics help my case?
At what point would you recommend surgery?
What are the risks and realistic outcomes of surgery?
