Bunions in Newcastle — A Podiatrist’s Guide to What’s Actually Happening (and How Orthotics Help)

June 13, 2026 Tim Foran No comments yet

Newcastle podiatrist Tim Foran explains why bunions are mostly inherited, what’s actually happening inside the joint, and how custom orthotics change the forces driving the deformity.
