Hammertoes occur when a toe bends or curls downward at the middle joint, often due to muscle imbalance, arthritis, or chronic pressure from shoes. Over time, this deformity can lead to painful corns, calluses, and difficulty walking.
At Forward Foot & Ankle Center, we take a proactive and compassionate approach to hammertoe care. Our podiatrist evaluates both the affected toes and the overall structure of your foot to determine the root cause. Early treatment may include splints, toe straighteners, orthotics, and footwear adjustments to realign and relieve pressure. For more advanced or rigid hammertoes, minimally invasive surgery may be recommended to restore comfort and function.
We also address contributing conditions such as bunions, flat feet, or tight tendons to prevent recurrence. Whether your goal is to walk pain-free or wear your favorite shoes again, we’ll help you regain natural motion and confidence in every step.
Schedule your hammertoe consultation today and take the first step toward pain-free movement.
