Hammertoes

Relieve Your Foot Pain with Help from Stop Feet Pain Fast Institute

Our board-certified podiatrist offers 5-star-rated care for various foot conditions, including hammertoe treatment in Troy, MI. Hammertoes are often the result of genetics and can be exacerbated by wearing the wrong kinds of shoes, especially for women.

Women’s footwear often includes pointy-toed high heels, which can create issues in the structure of the foot. Hammertoes are toes that curl or bend downward, instead of pointing forward. This deformity can cause the joints of your toes to rub uncomfortably against the inside of your shoe. When the condition progresses, your toes may become stiff and inflexible. If you suspect that you have or may be developing hammertoes, we can help you with treatment and advice on shoes that may be better for your particular foot structure.

What Causes Hammertoes?

At Stop Feet Pain Fast Institute, we don’t want to just treat your foot problems; we want to educate you. Knowing more about the source of your foot pain is empowering, and it allows you to choose a treatment plan that is right for you.

A toe begins to curl in when the muscles contract. This contraction of the muscle can be caused by many things, but the most common causes of hammertoes are:

  • Frequent wearing of high-heeled or narrow-toed shoes
  • A foot structure issue present since birth
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Stroke, cerebral palsy, or degenerative disc disease
  • Being bedridden for a long period of time
  • A lack of feeling in your feet, often caused by diabetes
  • Injury to your toes such as a break, dislocation, or jam
