Intra-operative imaging is essential during every InvisiFoot™ procedure.
It gives Dr. Speer a live view of bone alignment, allowing him to make precise corrections through a tiny incision and confirm results in real time.
What makes InvisiFoot™ different from traditional bunion surgery?
• Tiny incision instead of a large open cut
• No plates or screws
• No bone-breaking or shifting with hardware
• Minimal soft-tissue disruption
• Patients walk the same day
• Faster recovery, less pain, smoother return to normal life
Traditional bunion surgery often requires extensive cutting, hardware, weeks in a boot, and long recovery times.
InvisiFoot™ uses a minimally invasive, precision-based method that focuses on alignment — not hardware — and preserves the natural structure of the foot.
Dr. Speer uses intra-operative imaging to teach, refine, and ensure consistent patient outcomes. His team is trained hands-on in the operating room to deliver the highest level of care.

Bunions can affect more than just the way your foot looks. They can cause pain, discomfort, and make it difficult to wear shoes comfortably.
A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of the big toe. It develops when some of the bones in the front part of the foot move out of alignment, causing the big toe to lean toward the second toe. Over time, this can cause the joint to stick out, become painful, and interfere with walking or wearing certain shoes.
At Emerald Coast Foot & Ankle Center, Dr. Carl Speer corrects bunions using InvisiFoot™ minimally invasive surgery — a modern approach that realigns the bone through tiny 2–4 mm incisions, without plates or screws.
With InvisiFoot™:
• Patients walk the same day
• Less disruption to surrounding tissue
• Faster recovery compared to traditional surgery
If bunion pain is affecting your daily life, relief may be more achievable than you think.
