From Bunions to Flat Feet: Understanding Common Foot Problems & Modern Solutions


Listen Later

Foot pain affects millions — but getting the right diagnosis and treatment can make all the difference. On this episode of Bad to the Bones, Debbie Rody is joined by Dr. Benjamin Marder, a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon, to dive into two of the most common (and commonly misunderstood) conditions: bunions and flat feet.


🎯 Inside this episode:

  • What bunions really are — and why they’re not just cosmetic
  • Common myths about bunions (yes, high heels are not the cause)
  • What the Lapiplasty® procedure does differently
  • Why flat feet can lead to knee, hip, or back issues
  • How to know when it’s time for conservative or surgical treatment
  • Early warning signs and how to protect long-term mobility
  • Dr. Marder also shares real-life examples of patients regaining function, comfort — and confidence — with the right care.
