Toe Deformities

Deformities such as hammer toes or toes that cross over one another can be painful as well as a cosmetic issue. These types of toe deformity can also make footwear fit a problem.

If toes start to rub on shoes they can become painful and develop callus and corns often requiring treatment by your podiatrist.

Wearing the right kind of footwear can eliminate some of these problems and if the deformity it still flexible then wearing splints may be of benefit. Toe protectors can be worn and we can recommend the best type for you.

Long term should these conservative measures fail to resolve your problems surgery may be an option however there are some potential risks and complications.
