Foot Care
Understanding Hammertoes and Their Causes
In the world of foot health, hammertoes are a common concern that can cause discomfort and impact daily activities. At Hands Over Feet Reflexology, we specialize in providing effective solutions for hammertoes, helping our clients find relief and regain their mobility.
Hammertoes are deformities that affect the alignment of the toes, causing them to bend or curl downwards instead of pointing forward. This condition primarily affects the second, third, or fourth toe and can occur due to various factors including:
- Prolonged use of ill-fitting shoes that squeeze the toes
- Genetic predisposition
- Muscle imbalances in the foot
- Injury or trauma to the toe
- Arthritis or other joint diseases
Recognizing Hammertoe Symptoms
Identifying hammertoe symptoms early on is crucial for prompt treatment and prevention of further complications. Here are some common signs and symptoms associated with hammertoes:
- Pain or discomfort in the affected toe(s)
- Corn or callus formation on top of the toe joint
- Difficulty in flexing or moving the affected toe(s)
- Toes that appear bent or crooked
- Redness, swelling, or inflammation
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to consult a foot specialist who can accurately diagnose your condition and recommend appropriate treatment options.
