Everything Runners Need To Know About Bunions with Doctor Brad Schaeffer

Roughly 1 in 4 US adults suffer from bunions and whether you knew
it or not, there’s actually such a thing as “National Bunion Day
'' that's only a few days away. Given the time of year and the
applicability to our community, I figured it’d be a good topic of
conversation. 


For runners like us, bunions often result from the repeated
stress of hitting the pavement, wearing shoes that are too tight,
as well as having flat feet or over pronation to aggravate the
problem. 


With that context in mind, I invited Dr. Brad Schaeffer, who you
may know from the hit TLC show “My Feet Are Killing Me” onto the
pod to talk about this issue. Dr. Schaeffer trained at the
Comprehensive Foot & Ankle Reconstructive Surgical Residency
Program at the Hoboken University Medical Center and is a Board
Certified Foot Surgeon with the ABFAS.


In this episode, we talk about the causes of bunions, the
symptoms of bunions, what to keep in mind if you have them and
you’re running with them, how to treat them non-surgically, and
some of the latest, cutting-edge procedures out there to take
care of them fast with quick recovery.
