Hammertoes

Understanding Hammertoe

Hammertoe is a common foot deformity that affects the joints of the toes, causing them to bend or curl downward, resembling a hammer. This condition can lead to pain, difficulty walking, and increased risk of corns and calluses. It often results from an imbalance in the muscles and tendons that control toe movement, making it crucial to address the issue early to prevent further complications.

Personalized Treatment Plans

At Alpine Foot & Ankle, we tailor our approach to each patient's unique needs, offering a range of treatment options to address hammertoe effectively:

• Conservative Treatments: We begin with non-surgical options such as custom orthotics, toe splints, and physical therapy to relieve pain and improve toe alignment.
• Footwear Recommendations: Our experts provide guidance on selecting appropriate shoes that accommodate toe deformities and reduce discomfort.
• Advanced Therapies: For persistent cases, we offer advanced treatments, including corticosteroid injections and minimally invasive procedures designed to correct toe positioning and alleviate symptoms.
• Surgical Solutions: If conservative treatments are not sufficient, our skilled surgeons can perform corrective surgery to straighten the affected toe and restore proper function.
