He didn't come in asking for much. Just to walk without pain. Maybe shoot around a little. 🏀

His bunion had been building for years — that familiar bump that starts as a minor annoyance and quietly takes over how you move and what you stop saying yes to. And alongside it, his second toe had started curling and contracting. What looked like "a foot thing" was his entire forefoot mechanics breaking down.

He'd adapted so long he'd forgotten what normal felt like.
A bunion doesn't just affect the big toe — it shifts load across the whole forefoot, and eventually the toes beside it pay the price.

The hammertoe wasn't a separate problem. It was the same story.

We corrected the whole picture at once. Minimally invasive bunionectomy plus hammertoe repair — no large incisions, no screws or pins, just precise realignment designed to restore function.

He's back on the court. Taking it easy — but he's out there. 🙌

The old playbook said: rest, anti-inflammatories, maybe surgery. But what about everyone in between?

Regenerative medicine is changing the algorithm — not by replacing traditional care, but by giving patients more options before they ever reach the operating table.

At Align, we're not here to manage your symptoms. We're here to support your healing. 🌱

There's a new way to think about foot and ankle care — and it starts by asking better questions. Link in bio to read the full blog.

Running is a love language. And so is taking care of the feet that carry you. Happy Global Running Day! 🏃‍♀️

Raise your hand if you've been "watching and waiting" on a bunion. 🙋‍♀️

This patient had hers for over 20 years. She managed it — orthotics, supportive shoes, careful choices. Years ago a surgeon told her fixing it meant 6 to 8 weeks off her feet entirely. With young kids and a full life, that wasn't happening.

So she adapted. And the bunion kept growing.

By the time she came to us, the bone was hitting the floor when she walked. Long walks were gone. Normal shoes were impossible. And the sharp pain at the ball of her foot she'd written off as "just how her feet felt"? Her second toe — creating pressure with every single step.

Here's what most patients don't realize: a bunion rarely travels alone. As the big toe drifts, neighboring toes compensate. What starts as one problem quietly becomes several.

With minimally invasive bunion correction — no large incisions, no screws or pins, recovery that fits real life — we addressed the whole picture at once.

She's already back on the Pilates reformer. She just wishes she hadn't waited so long.

If that resonates, it's time to have a real conversation. 📲 Link in bio.

Why do heels crack more in the summer? ☀️🦶

More sandals. More barefoot walking. More heat. More dehydration.

Summer creates the perfect storm for dry, thickened skin and painful heel fissures.

What starts as “just dry skin” can eventually become:
 • Deep cracks • Pain with walking • Skin breakdown • Even infection in some patients

One of the biggest mistakes we see? People aggressively scraping or filing their heels while ignoring the underlying problem: pressure + loss of skin barrier function.

A few things that actually help: ✔️ Supportive sandals/shoes ✔️ Daily moisturizing ✔️ Medical-grade foot care products ✔️ Addressing underlying foot mechanics ✔️ Hydration and skin maintenance

At Align Foot & Ankle, we frequently recommend products like Skin -Integra Rapid Crack Repair and -Tolcylen soaks/topicals to help restore hydration and improve dry, fissured skin.

Your feet carry you all summer long. They deserve a little maintenance too.

This is what it looks like when someone gets her life back.

She’s a former marathon runner. For years, painful hammertoes changed the way she walked, made shoes miserable, and eventually made running impossible.

In fact, the pain became so severe that years ago, she chose to have her toenails permanently removed just to keep running rather than pursue surgery she feared would sideline her.

That’s how long she pushed through.

What most people don’t realize is that hammertoes don’t just affect appearance — they affect function. When your toes are contracted and painful, your body compensates. Your stride changes, your posture shifts, and extra stress moves into your knees, hips, and beyond.

The good news? This is correctable.

At Align, minimally invasive hammertoe correction uses small, precise incisions to realign the toe with less soft tissue disruption than traditional open surgery.

That means: 🔹 Smaller incisions 🔹 Less swelling and discomfort 🔹 Quicker return to activity 🔹 Outcomes focused on function — not just appearance

We don’t just want your feet to look better.
 We want you back doing what you love.

Today, we remember. 🇺🇸

Memorial Day isn't the start of summer, it's a sacred pause to honor the men and women who gave everything for this country.

Many will mark today by taking on the Murph — 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, 1 mile run — a legendary tribute to U.S. Navy SEAL Lt. Michael P. Murphy, killed in action in Afghanistan in 2005. Every rep, a reminder of what sacrifice truly looks like.

If you're pushing through those miles today, we'll be here to help you recover. But more importantly — we'll be here, like so many Americans, grateful for those who have sacrificed so much for our country.

Grateful for the freedoms we walk on every single day.

To Lt. Murphy, and to every fallen hero — thank you. You are not forgotten. 🙏🏼🇺🇸
