We help keep feet healthy.

Are claw toes or hammer toes causing discomfort and affecting your mobility? At The Foot Health Centre, our experienced chiropodists specialize in diagnosing and treating these common toe deformities. Learn about their causes, symptoms, and effective treatment options to regain comfort and improve your foot health.

Understanding Claw Toes + Hammer Toes

Claw toes and hammer toes are toe deformities where the toes bend downward at the middle joint, resembling a claw or hammer. Causes include:

Muscle Imbalance: Weakness or tightness in toe muscles can lead to abnormal positioning.
Foot Structure: High arches or flat feet can contribute to toe deformities.
Footwear: Tight shoes that squeeze the toes or high heels that force the toes into a cramped position.

Treatment Options

At The Foot Health Centre, we offer a range of treatments tailored to your specific joint pain condition:

Orthotic Devices

Custom orthotics to correct foot mechanics and alleviate pressure on affected toes.

Footwear Recommendations

Our Chiropodists can offer guidance on selecting appropriate footwear to accommodate toe deformities and prevent worsening.

Toe Exercises

Strengthening and stretching exercises to improve toe flexibility and function.

Padding + Taping

Techniques to relieve pressure and discomfort on affected toes.

Medications

Including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other medications to alleviate pain and inflammation, and injection therapy using corticosteroids for targeted relief.

Surgical Intervention

Advanced surgical procedures may be recommended for severe cases that don’t respond to conservative treatments.
