Hammertoe Treatment in Austin, Texas
Hammer toes are caused by a muscle imbalance that makes the ligaments and tendons of the foot unnaturally tight. The result of the tight ligaments is a toe joint that curls downward. Arthritis is a common cause of hammer toes. Discomfort at the top part of the toe might rub against the shoe which can lead to severe pressure and pain.
Relief from painful hammertoes can be found in:
- Shoes with a high and broad toe box to provide room in the forefoot so there is less friction against the toes
- Hammertoe crests and splints
- Gel toe shields and gel toe caps
Every foot is different, and all of these are possible solutions depending on your personal situation. Call our trained and experienced staff today for relief from your hammertoes!
