If you've asked a doctor about your bunion, you've probably been told surgery is the only way to correct it. That's what most doctors and podiatrists will say, and with bunions affecting one in three New Zealanders, a lot of people hear it.

What many people don't realise is that there's a painless and natural way to treat and correct bunions, without expensive surgery or orthotics.

Meet Graham

Graham came to Corrective Foot Solutions with significant bunions. Not only were they advanced, he was also suffering from arch pain and clawed toes.

Graham was highly motivated to fix his feet so he could enjoy walking again. He was pleasantly surprised to hear we were confident we could not only treat his foot pain, but correct his bunions without surgery.

Graham's assessment

His initial assessment included an x-ray, which showed bunion angles of 30.73 and 19.44 degrees. The ideal angle is 12 to 15 degrees.

Before treatment: 30.73 and 19.44 degrees

Commitment pays off

Graham was disciplined with his exercises and turned up to every appointment. The first four weeks were the most intensive part of his treatment, and his visits reduced after that.

The result

We followed up with another x-ray to measure Graham's results, and his bunions were down to 16.92 and 11.28 degrees! Not only have his bunions straightened, but his foot pain has resolved too.

After treatment: 16.92 and 11.28 degrees

Well done, Graham!
