Sports Podiatry in New York City
The podiatrists at AIRE Podiatry Studio are experts in caring for athletes, especially dancers with sports injuries.
Among the many ankle and foot injuries dancers present, bunions are common. Caused by repetitive stress on the big toe joint. This bony bump forms when bones get pushed out of alignment. Though bunions start small, they worsen with time if left untreated.
Early intervention prevents long-term issues like arthritis. Proper footwear helps redistribute pressure off the bunion. Custom orthotics realign feet to stop bunion progression. But sometimes surgery is needed to realign bones and relieve pain.
