Bunion Myths Busted

Contrary to popular belief, a bunion isn't just an extra piece of bone or a callus.

Dr. Alan Berman explains his unique perspective: Imagine your big toe as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, gradually tilting out of its proper alignment and creating a structural problem that needs to be properly straightened out.
