Knowing when to transition from conservative management to surgical correction is key to preventing long-term joint damage. Patients in the New Jersey area should consider a consultation at Stepwell Institute if they experience persistent pain in the big toe joint, drifting of the big toe toward the second toe, or the formation of painful calluses where the toes overlap. Many of our patients find that wider shoes and padding no longer provide relief, or that the bunion is causing “transfer pain” to the ball of the foot. If your bunion is limiting your mobility or causing you to avoid the activities you love, a professional evaluation by Dr. Yakov can determine if you are a candidate for this advanced, minimally invasive solution.
Stepwell Institute distinguishes itself by offering NJ patients a recovery experience that prioritizes immediate mobility. Unlike traditional surgery, which can sideline patients for months, our minimally invasive techniques often allow for immediate weight-bearing in a specialized surgical shoe. Most patients experience up to 50% less post-operative pain and are back in comfortable sneakers significantly faster than with open surgery. By choosing Stepwell Institute, you benefit from a specialized environment where Dr. Yakov and our team focus on getting you back to your routine with minimal scarring and a lower risk of complications. Our goal is to provide a permanent correction that ensures your feet remain strong and stable for all the activities New Jersey has to offer.
