What about my other foot problems?

Everything's connected, and other foot problems can indeed be caused by your bunions. Our patients are often astounded by the disappearance of problems such as clawed toes, calluses and even low back and knee pain. This corrective domino effect, in such seemingly unrelated areas of pain, only further supports the power of Syndesmosis Bunion Surgery. We've witnessed the following secondary problems spontaneously correct themselves without the need for additional surgeries, as evident through our case presentations.
