Hammertoes

Hammertoe Care and Correction

Relief for Painful Toe Deformities

Hammertoes develop when the middle joint of a toe bends downward, creating a hammer-like appearance. This condition can be caused by trauma, arthritis, diabetes, or wearing tight-fitting shoes over time. Age and gender also play a role, with women and older adults more likely to experience hammertoes. Left untreated, the deformity can worsen, making walking and wearing shoes increasingly painful.

At Plaza Podiatry, we diagnose the severity of your hammertoe and create a customized treatment plan. Non-surgical options may include custom orthotics to realign the toe structure, specialized padding, footwear modifications, or targeted injections to reduce inflammation and discomfort. For more advanced cases, our podiatrists may recommend minimally invasive procedures or corrective surgery to restore proper alignment.



Our goal is to relieve your pain, prevent further deformity, and help you stay active and comfortable. Whether your hammertoe is just beginning to form or has become more rigid over time, Plaza Podiatry offers expert care to improve function and quality of life.
