Roughly 1 in 4 US adults suffer from bunions and whether you knew it or not, there\u2019s actually such a thing as \u201cNational Bunion Day '' that's only a few days away. Given the time of year and the applicability to our community, I figured it\u2019d be a good topic of conversation.\xa0
For runners like us, bunions often result from the repeated stress of hitting the pavement, wearing shoes that are too tight, as well as having flat feet or over pronation to aggravate the problem.\xa0
With that context in mind, I invited Dr. Brad Schaeffer, who you may know from the hit TLC show \u201cMy Feet Are Killing Me\u201d onto the pod to talk about this issue. Dr. Schaeffer trained at the Comprehensive Foot & Ankle Reconstructive Surgical Residency Program at the Hoboken University Medical Center and is a Board Certified Foot Surgeon with the ABFAS.
In this episode, we talk about the causes of bunions, the symptoms of bunions, what to keep in mind if you have them and you\u2019re running with them, how to treat them non-surgically, and some of the latest, cutting-edge procedures out there to take care of them fast with quick recovery.
