Tailored Hammertoe Treatment in Manhattan Valley
Hammertoes often form due to uneven tension in the muscles and tendons controlling the toes. Additional factors such as footwear habits, injury, or underlying foot structure can contribute to the condition. As flexibility decreases, the toe may remain fixed in a bent position.
At City Footcare, each case is carefully assessed before recommending treatment. Surgical correction may include:
- Repositioning the joint to improve alignment
- Releasing tight soft tissues that restrict movement
- Stabilizing the toe to maintain its corrected position
- Addressing structural issues affecting the toe
These procedures are designed to reduce pressure, improve mobility, and help patients return to daily activities comfortably.
