Hammer Toe Correction
Hammer toe correction refers to various treatments aimed at correcting a curled or bent toe, usually the second, third, or fourth toe. This condition can be caused by muscle imbalances, ill-fitting shoes, or certain diseases. Treatment options may include padding to relieve pressure, custom orthotics to support the foot, physical therapy to strengthen the toe muscles, or in more severe cases, surgical procedures to correct the bone alignment. Proper footwear modifications are also crucial in alleviating symptoms and preventing further deformity. Overall, the goal is to improve comfort, function, and appearance of the foot.
