Expert recommendations from New Mexico Foot & Ankle Institute's board-certified podiatrists in Albuquerque
If you're living with bunion pain in Albuquerque or throughout New Mexico, you already know how a bony bump at the big toe joint can limit your daily activities, restrict your shoe choices, and reduce your quality of life. The good news? You don't have to live with constant discomfort, and you don't have to jump straight to surgery.
This evidence-based bunion habits checklist provides daily actions that can significantly reduce pain, slow progression, and help you stay active. Developed by our experienced Albuquerque podiatrists, this checklist combines conservative care strategies with advanced, non-invasive treatment options available at New Mexico Foot & Ankle Institute.
While daily habits effectively manage symptoms and slow bunion progression, only surgical correction can permanently realign the joint structure. For many active adults in Albuquerque, the right combination of conservative measures and advanced therapies provides excellent pain relief without surgery.
