Hammertoes

Hammertoes can cause pain, discomfort, and difficulty wearing shoes, affecting your daily life. At The Foot Center, we focus on diagnosing the underlying causes and offering tailored treatment plans to alleviate symptoms and correct deformities. Our goal is to help you walk comfortably and regain your natural foot function.

What are Hammertoes?

Hammertoes are deformities where one or more toes become bent at the middle joint, resembling a hammer shape. This condition can cause pain, corns, calluses, and difficulty wearing certain types of footwear. Hammertoes can develop due to muscle imbalance, injury, or wearing tight shoes, and may progressively become rigid without proper care.

Common Symptoms of Hammertoes

- Toe bent upward at the middle joint
- Corns or calluses on the top of the toe
- Pain when wearing shoes
- Swelling or redness around the joint
- Stiffness or limited movement
- Difficulty straightening the toe

How We Treat Hammertoes

Our treatment approach for hammertoes is tailored to the severity of the condition. Mild cases may benefit from custom orthotics, padding, and exercises to strengthen the toe muscles. For more advanced or painful deformities, minimally invasive surgical correction may be recommended. At The Foot Center, we focus on relieving pain, improving toe alignment, and restoring natural function.
