Are Bunions Impacting Your Lifestyle?
Bunions can cause significant pain and discomfort, especially as they bear the weight of your body with every step. While conservative treatments may alleviate some symptoms, they do not address the root cause of the problem. Bunions are a progressive condition, and without surgical intervention, they will not resolve on their own.
Understanding Bunions: More Than Just a Bump
Contrary to popular belief, a bunion is not just a bump that can be shaved off. Bunions are complex, three-dimensional (3D) problems caused by an unstable joint in the middle of the foot. Treating bunions effectively requires addressing this instability, not just the surface appearance.
Introducing Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction®
Dr. Mark A. Barinque, D.P.M., is proud to offer Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction®, a revolutionary treatment that provides a comprehensive solution to bunions. Unlike traditional two-dimensional (2D) procedures that cut and shift the bone to address cosmetic concerns, Lapiplasty® corrects the entire bone in 3D and stabilizes the unstable joint.
