🦶 What Is a Hammertoe?
A hammertoe is a toe deformity where the toe bends or curls downward at the middle joint, often causing it to rub against shoes. Over time, this can lead to pain, corns, calluses, and difficulty finding comfortable footwear.
✨ Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the severity and may include:
Shoe modifications and padding to reduce pressure
Stretching or splinting in early stages
Custom orthotics to improve foot mechanics
In-office care for corns and calluses
Minimally invasive or surgical correction when conservative care is no longer effective
Early treatment can help prevent progression and relieve discomfort.
📅 If you’re experiencing toe pain or notice changes in the shape of your toes, a podiatrist can help determine the best treatment plan.
