Bunion Treatment In Humble, Kingwood & Atascocita, TX

What Is a Bunion?

A bunion (also known as hallux valgus) is a progressive condition where the big toe shifts inward, forcing the joint at its base to protrude outward. Over time, this misalignment can cause significant discomfort, swelling, and difficulty wearing shoes.

Common causes of bunions include:

• Genetics or inherited foot structure

• Wearing tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes

• Flat feet or abnormal foot mechanics

• Arthritis or previous foot injuries

Signs and Symptoms of Bunions

• A noticeable bump on the inside of the foot at the base of the big toe

• Pain or soreness around the big toe joint

• Swelling or redness in the affected area

• Restricted movement in the big toe

• Corns or calluses from overlapping toes

• Difficulty finding shoes that fit properly

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, early intervention can prevent your bunion from worsening.

Non-Surgical Bunion Treatment Options

Dr. Kent Jarvis offers a variety of conservative treatments to relieve bunion pain and slow the progression of the deformity, including:

• Custom orthotics to redistribute pressure

• Padding and taping to reduce friction and inflammation

• Anti-inflammatory medications or cortisone injections

• Footwear recommendations to relieve pressure on the joint

• Activity modifications to reduce strain on the forefoot

Bunion Surgery with Dr. Kent Jarvis

If conservative treatment is no longer effective, bunion surgery may be necessary to correct the deformity and relieve chronic pain. Dr. Jarvis specializes in modern, minimally invasive surgical techniques to improve recovery time and outcomes.

Surgical procedures are tailored to each patient and may include:

• Bunionectomy – removal of the bony bump

• Osteotomy – realignment of the bone

• Fusion procedures – for severe or arthritic bunions

Most patients experience lasting pain relief and improved function after surgery.
