35 years after her first bunion surgery, she was ready for a different approach. 👣

Our patient had undergone bunion surgery on her left foot 35 years ago, but over time, the deformity and pain returned. By April, things had gotten progressively worse. Walking through her hilly neighborhood, traveling, and even wearing comfortable shoes had become increasingly painful, sometimes reaching an 8/10.

She tried changing shoes, modifying activities, and finding ways to relieve the discomfort. But she wanted more than another temporary solution.

Fast forward to just 5 weeks after minimally invasive surgery!
This wasn't just a simple bunion correction. We addressed multiple areas of deformity and imbalance using a combination of minimally invasive techniques.

No pins. No screws. No permanent hardware. No large incisions.

Our goal wasn't simply to straighten her big toe. It was to address the underlying structural deformities and soft tissue imbalances contributing to her pain.

At Align Foot & Ankle, we believe surgery should be tailored to the patient, not the other way around. And sometimes, even after a previous bunion surgery, there may be another option.
Just 5 weeks into recovery, and we're excited to see her progress! Healing will continue over the coming months.

If you've been told you need bunion surgery, or you've already had surgery and your bunion has returned, it may be time for a second opinion.

Joint pain isn't always just a part of getting older. 🦶

Stiff feet in the morning? Aching ankles after a long day? Pain when walking or climbing stairs?

Osteoarthritis may be the reason.

While osteoarthritis is one of the most common causes of joint pain, it doesn't mean you have to stop doing the things you love.
At Align Foot & Ankle, we look beyond the pain to understand what's contributing to it. From biomechanics and custom orthotics to advanced therapies like shockwave and laser, our goal is to create an individualized treatment plan that helps you move more comfortably.

Because managing arthritis isn't just about treating pain. It's about preserving mobility, improving function, and keeping you active.

💚 You have options, and surgery isn't always one of them.
Read our latest blog to learn more about osteoarthritis, its symptoms, and available treatment options.

From a painful bunion and crossover toe to a remarkable transformation in just 4 weeks! 👣✨

A bunion isn’t always just a bump on the side of your foot. As the deformity progresses, it can affect the alignment of the other toes, sometimes causing one toe to cross over another.

And while the before and after photos speak for themselves, there’s so much more to this transformation than appearance.

At Align Foot & Ankle, our approach to minimally invasive surgery focuses on correcting the deformity, preserving anatomy, and helping patients get back to moving comfortably and confidently.

✨ Tiny incisions. No pins, screws, or internal fixation. Remarkable correction.

These results are just 4 WEEKS post-op! Healing is still underway, but we’re already seeing a significant improvement in alignment.

You don’t have to wait until your bunion or crossover toe becomes unbearable to explore your options.

So how long do these injuries actually take to heal? And what can we learn from the pros?

We're breaking down some of the biggest NFL injuries, recovery timelines, and treatment approaches in this week's blog.

ACL Weekend 1 gave us great music, great energy… and a LOT of mud. 😂

We saw rain boots, Chacos, tennis shoes, muddy bare feet, and just about everything in between.

With Weekend 2 coming up, remember: ACL is basically an endurance event disguised as a music festival. Your feet are putting in some serious work.

So before you head back to Zilker, we put together our Podiatrist’s Guide to Surviving ACL Weekend 👣

We’re talking:
✔️ What shoes actually make sense
✔️ How to handle rain + mud
✔️ Why going barefoot may not be your best idea
✔️ Preventing blisters and keeping your feet dry
✔️ What to do when you finally get home

Go enjoy the music, dance, walk way too many steps, and have an amazing weekend.

Just take care of the feet getting you there. 💚

Happy International Podiatry Day! 👣

We often don’t think about our feet until they start keeping us from doing the things we love.

But healthy feet mean so much more than simply being pain-free. They mean independence. Confidence. Staying active. Traveling. Exercising. Working. Playing with your kids and grandkids. And continuing to move through life on your terms.

That’s why we believe podiatry isn’t just about treating feet. It’s about helping people keep moving forward.

Today, we’re proud to celebrate our profession and the opportunity we have every day to make a difference, one step at a time.

Happy International Podiatry Day from all of us at Align Foot & Ankle. 💚

She didn’t put off bunion surgery because she wasn’t ready to fix it. She put it off because she’s a teacher, a mom of three, and life doesn’t always come with 6–8 weeks of downtime.

For years, she assumed bunion surgery meant a large incision, hardware, significant time off her feet, and a recovery that simply didn’t fit her life.

Then she learned about our minimally invasive approach.

Small incisions. No pins or screws.

Walking the same day.

And a recovery designed to get her back to the life she already has waiting for her.

For the right patient, bunion surgery doesn’t have to mean putting life on hold.

Sometimes the biggest transformation isn’t just the foot you see in the before and after.

It’s finally being able to say, “I can do this now.”

If you’ve been putting off bunion surgery because you’re worried about the recovery, come talk to us about whether minimally invasive surgery may be an option for you.
