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

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. To schedule an appointment at Premier Orthopaedic Associates, call or text 856.690.1616 or visit poasnj.com
