Hammertoes

Straightening Toes and Restoring Comfort

Comprehensive Care for Hammertoe Pain and Deformity

Hammertoes occur when one or more of the smaller toes become bent at the middle joint, causing them to curl downward instead of lying flat. This condition can result from muscle imbalances, ill-fitting shoes, or structural issues in the foot. Over time, hammertoes can become stiff, painful, and difficult to move, making it uncomfortable to wear shoes or walk normally.

At Lakeforest Foot & Ankle Center, we provide expert evaluation and treatment for hammertoes at every stage. Early care may include padding, shoe modifications, splints, custom orthotics, and targeted exercises to relieve pressure and improve flexibility. For more advanced cases, surgical correction may be recommended to realign the affected toe and restore normal function.

Our goal is to reduce pain, correct deformity, and prevent the condition from worsening. Through personalized treatment and patient education, we help you regain comfort, mobility, and confidence in every step.
