Our Mississauga Chiropodist, Kiran Dave works with many common foot issues, such as bunions, flat feet, fallen arches, foot injuries, as well as overall postural issues. 

A natural approach to support your health should include your feet. You explore the world on your feet and they can impact the mechanics of your whole spine. They also take quite the impact when exploring. By caring for your feet our Chiropodist supports you towards a naturally healthier you from the “bottom-up”.

What are Bunions?

• Most commonly found in females, but also seen in males.
• Appears as a hard lump at the great toe joint with a misaligned big toe.
• Are progressive and can cause discomfort, especially in a bad shoe, like a pump.
• Can also lead to hammertoes and clawed toes.

What is the cause of bunions?

The cause of a common foot issue like a bunion can be poor biomechanical function, hereditary and poor footwear. With time and habit, smaller bunions can grow, leading to pain, discomfort, and shifting toes.

Each individual’s case varies, so we recommend consulting with our Mississauga foot specialist to investigate what is causing your foot issue.

What are the treatments for bunions?

The preferred treatment for bunions, which is most successful, is prescription orthotics. It is non invasive, simple and effective with good footwear.

Surgery can also be performed to correct the problem, but it is not the first recommended option.
