Hammertoe Treatment Process

TREATMENT PROCESS

This is my current treatment process for patients with hammertoes, please watch the video for full details. 

• 1st Visit - Evaluate your condition, review x-rays, and perform a walking evaluation to determine the cause of your condition.
• Shoe Changes - Many times anatomic shoes are recommended with possible toe spacers to help protect toes and have them work better. 
• Orthotics - Orthotics are useful to stabilize the heel position, help with posture, and reduce excess movement of the foot which can increase stress in the forefoot and hammertoes.
