However, make sure to take care of your feet by taking a break from flip-flops from time to time. Shoes such as flip-flops can be damaging to the feet and can lead to problems such as hammertoe. Hammertoe is a foot condition in which one or more of your toe joints bend upward. This is usually caused by ill-fitting shoes, which put pressure on the toes. Hammertoes should be treated immediately.

To successfully correct a hammertoe and relieve the symptoms associated it, medical assistance may be necessary. If you are seeking hammertoe treatment, consult with one of our podiatrists from Foot Health Podiatry. Our doctors will provide you with quality treatment and assist you with all of your foot and ankle concerns.

Hammertoe

Hammertoe is a painful condition that affects the second, third and fourth toes involving different joints of the toe and foot. Hammertoe can be caused by many other conditions such as RA (rheumatoid arthritis), osteoarthritis, trauma or injuries to your foot, it can be hereditary and it can also be caused by a cerebral vascular accident. If you wear shoes that are too narrow or short for your feet, it may exacerbate any pain you already have.

It is really important to your overall well-being to seek out medical attention at the first signs of foot pain or anything that may hinder your ability to walk in a normal manner. Taking care of your feet is one of the first steps to being able to live a full and healthy life.
