Don’t miss this opportunity to learn, connect, and take a step toward better foot health.
Contrary to popular belief, a bunion isn't just an extra piece of bone or a callus. It's actually a structural shift in your foot, where an unstable joint causes your big toe to drift out of alignment. Think of it like a house with a foundation that's slowly sliding - except this "house" is your foot.

Whether you're a weekend warrior, a busy professional, or someone who just wants to walk without pain, understanding bunions is the first step to taking control of your foot health.
Somers Orthopaedics is participating in National Bunion Day on April 15, 2025, offering informational consultations in our Danbury office!
