What Are Hammertoes?
Hammertoe is a foot deformity in which the joints of the toes bend out of their usual alignment. Hammertoes can often be traced back to foot injuries or poor-fitting shoes, which can slowly force the joints out of position with constant pressure. In addition to being uncomfortable and unsightly, hammertoes can worsen over time, eventually requiring surgery if they aren't addressed early enough. If you're experiencing pain in your toes or have noticed that they don't seem to be in alignment anymore, contact Agape Foot Care to schedule a consultation with our experienced podiatrists. We can perform an examination at our North Texas offices or in the comfort of your own home before building a customized therapy plan to restore the health and structure of your feet.
How Do You Treat Hammertoes?
The details of your hammertoe treatment will depend on how severe the condition is. In the early stages, the toes can often be brought back into alignment with custom inserts, splints, and physical therapy. If these conservative treatments fail, we may have to perform surgery to remove part of the bone and install pins to keep your toe straight while it heals.
What Are the Symptoms of Hammertoes?
When it comes to hammertoe, early intervention is crucial to avoid more complex treatments in the future. Some symptoms of hammertoe to watch for include:
- Misalignment of one or more toes
- Pain in the affected toe
- Corns or calluses
- Swelling
- Redness
- Difficulty bending the toe
