What is a hammer toe? If you take a look at this toe deformity, here is what you may find: A toe bent upward at the middle joint; the end of the toe starts to angle downward. It may look like a hammer!
If you have a flexible hammer toe, you can still move your toe. Great news! Your situation is mild. We recommend pads and cushions for relief. If your condition has progressed to a rigid form, you can no longer move the toe. Surgery may be the next step.
Are hammer toes holding you back from your favorite activities? A hammer toe can be painful. One of the top complaints of people managing this condition is the discomfort they experience while wearing shoes. There is pain on the top of the bent toe, which may also be caused by corns. Overlapping toes kick up the friction, too. The PediFix team is bringing solutions for comfort.
