What Are Bunions?
A bunion is a painful, bony bump that forms at the base of the big toe when the joint shifts out of alignment. Over time, this misalignment can worsen, causing the big toe to angle inward toward the smaller toes. Bunions are not only cosmetic; they often lead to chronic pain, swelling, difficulty wearing shoes, and reduced mobility.
Our comprehensive, full-spectrum practice is led by Megan Ishibashi, DPM, FACFS, who is board-certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery and fellowship-trained, offering expert insight and care for bunions. If you’re searching for the best foot and ankle surgeon in West LA or need guidance from a board-certified foot specialist, Dr. Ishibashi and the team at KIN Foot & Ankle are here to help. We offer corrective, minimally invasive surgical solutions, but prioritize regenerative and conservative options, such as PRP, shockwave therapy, US-guided injections, and custom orthotics, are prioritized when surgery is avoidable.
