Hammertoe Treatment

A hammertoe is a muscle imbalance that puts pressure on the tendons and joints, causing them to get stuck in an upward position, resembling a hammer. Some common signs that you could have hammertoe are swelling, redness, calluses on the top of the joint, and inability to straighten the toe. If you have any of the following symptoms, you must see a podiatrist as soon as possible. A hammertoe will not go away on its own and will worsen over time without proper treatment. 

Wearing shoes that do not fit properly, your genetics, and neuromuscular diseases such as diabetes can all cause a muscle imbalance causing a hammertoe. At West Texas Foot & Ankle Associates, our podiatrist will examine your toe and determine the best treatment plan for you and your foot.
