Hammertoes

Lilburn Podiatrist | Lilburn Hammertoes | GA | |

Characterized by an abnormal contracture of one or both joints of one or more of the toes, hammertoes are a common problem. These deformities cause difficulty wearing shoes, which often worsen the pain. If you suffer from hammertoes, you may notice one or more of the following symptoms:

Corns between toes or on the top, side or end of the toes. Corns are a buildup of skin caused by friction at the contact point between the toe and shoe.

Calluses on the bottom of toes or on the ball of the foot. Calluses are rough patches of thickened skin that has accumulated due to pressure on local bony prominences.

Pain or irritation when the toes come into contact with the shoe.

Hammertoes and their symptoms generally worsen over time, as the friction between the foot and footwear becomes more severe. If left untreated, they can become rigid and open sores may form. If you are suffering from this condition, it is important to seek help sooner rather than later as they will not heal without treatment of some kind. Treatment options include changing shoes, padding the corns and calluses that form, trimming the corns and calluses, custom orthotic footwear or devices, anti-inflammatory medications and splinting the affected toe. Surgery is recommended in many cases. Contact us today to discuss your hammertoe problem and we will see what treatment options can provide immediate as well as long-term relief.
