Treatment for Bunions
Bunions are enlargements of bone on the inside of the first toe joint. They are caused by an imbalance in the forces through the foot and can be aggravated by footwear choices. A custom orthotic can stop or slow down the progression of the deformity. Learn more about non-surgical treatment for bunions >

Treatment for Toenail Fungus
Fungal infection of toenails is a common foot health problem. A majority of victims don’t seek treatment; maybe don’t even recognize the existence of a problem. Studies estimate that it afflicts 3 to 5% of the population but chiropodists think the incidence is much higher. Learn more about how we treat toenail fungus >
