Treatments for Hammer Toes

You may have hammertoes if you’ve noticed a bend in your toes that won’t go away. 

Your toes may be working extra hard to compensate for a tight Achilles tendon causing you to grip the ground as you walk.  Over time the toes become contracted. Hammertoe is a general term.  A true hammertoe has a bend at the middle joint of the toe. If the bend appears in the joint near your toenail, we call this a mallet toe.
