Treatment for Hammertoes
How can you care for a hammer toe?
- Wear shoes that have lots of room in the toes. Do not wear narrow, high-heeled shoes.
- Follow your doctor’s directions for wearing a splint on your toe, if you are given one.
- Gently stretch your toe with your fingers.
- Use toe pads or corn cushions to keep the toe from rubbing against your shoes. This may keep a corn from forming on the top of the toe.
- Wear a shoe insert, or orthotic, to cushion the bottom of the bent toe.
