Hammer Toes

A hammer toe occurs when one of the toes is contracted, rather than in a straight position. This can cause redness, pain, a corn, or even a sore over the knuckle. Certain shoes that are tight in the toe box can aggravate this condition. Padding and changing shoes can offer relief, but the only way to completely correct the condition is with surgery to straighten the toe. If you think you have this condition and are seeking treatment, please call for an appointment-708-763-0580. I will be happy to discuss your options with you!
