Hammertoe

Effective Treatment for Hammertoe
Hammertoe is a common toe deformity that occurs when the middle joint of one or more toes becomes bent downward, resembling a hammer. This condition often develops due to muscle imbalance, ill-fitting footwear, or structural abnormalities in the foot. Over time, hammertoes can cause pain, corns, calluses, swelling, and difficulty wearing shoes comfortably if not properly treated.
We provide comprehensive evaluations to determine the severity and flexibility of your hammertoe and identify contributing factors such as gait irregularities or tight footwear. Depending on your specific needs, treatment may include custom orthotics, shoe modifications, splinting or taping, stretching and strengthening exercises, and padding to relieve pressure and friction. In more advanced or rigid cases, surgical correction may be recommended to realign the toe and restore proper function.
Our goal is to alleviate discomfort, correct deformity, and prevent progression through a combination of conservative and, when necessary, surgical care. We’re dedicated to helping you walk comfortably, maintain mobility, and enjoy pain-free, properly aligned feet.
