Hammertoes are a common foot deformity in which one or more of the smaller toes become bent at the middle joint, creating a curled or “hammer-like” appearance. This imbalance is often caused by muscle and tendon dysfunction, leading to pressure points that can result in pain, corns, and difficulty wearing shoes. Hammertoes may develop due to factors such as improper footwear, foot structure, trauma, or arthritis. Over time, the condition can become more rigid and uncomfortable if left untreated. At Uxbridge Foot clinic, we offer personalized treatment options to relieve symptoms and improve toe alignment, including padding, footwear modifications, custom orthotics, and, when necessary, surgical correction to restore comfort and function.
