A common foot deformity
Take care of your feet as they carry the burden of your weight all day through. If you don’t, it can lead to deformities and foot problems. Hammertoe is a common foot deformity due to failure in looking after your feet. It affects the toes of your feet, particularly the second toe. The toe joints bend in such a way that it resembles a hammer. It can be accompanied by painful corns and calluses. If you suffer from hammertoes, don’t wait until it gets serious. There are a few simple tips to prevent it from occurring.
Tips to help with hammertoes
Exercise your feet by stretching your feet and toes when you get up every morning. Corrective footwear could help treat your foot problem. Orthopedic devices can help in reducing the pain and inflammation caused by hammertoe. There are foot straps, cushions and padding that are available at Dr. Mike’s online foot pain relief store. This online foot pain relief store also has remedies to relieve foot pain, and corns and calluses that accompany foot pain.
Some of the foot products include Dr. Jill's (Budin) Hammertoe Splint which is constructed of comfortable, but sturdy materials which gently extend the hammertoe, allowing it to lie straight; thus, pain is alleviated in the top and tip of the toe. It will help prevent the toe from becoming worse, allows it to bear weight normally, and prevents the unsightly bulges in footwear that hammertoes can cause. The well padded bottom part of the splint will cushion the ball of the foot, giving you extra comfort. Also available is Dr. Jill's Multi-Layered Foam Toe Separators which is a perfectly designed pad, given its name from the common use by dancers to relieve calluses and blisters under the big toe.
But it is better to see a podiatrist before starting treatment. Dr. Cornelison is a podiatrist in Cupertino who will be able to help you. He believes in conservative treatment and will advise foot surgery only in very extreme cases. You can reach him by mailing sales@OurDoctorStore.com or calling (408) 446-5811.
