Effective Hammer Toe Relief

Are you suffering from hammer toe syndrome? Let’s discuss exactly what it is, and then what to do about it.

Generally speaking it occurs in the lesser toes, (usually the second or third ) by the dislocated joint closest to the foot. This causes the toe to rise and press against foot wear becoming irritated, sometimes resulting in corn growth.


Before and after pictures

Bunions are also a major contributor which cause the foot to become disfigured. Other common causes are tight shoes, (especially high heels), flat feet, arthritis, and hereditary factors.

The bottom line is it can be very painful and lead to abrasions to the top of the knuckle. When combined with bunions, it may even overlap the big toe causing even more discomfort.

There are several things you can do to treat the condition short of surgery.

Prevention

  • Wear comfortable low heel shoes.
  • Avoid vinyl shoe material which doesn’t breath, (it may promote toe fungus and bacteria).
  • Eat potassium rich diet to lesson chance of leg and foot cramps.
  • Use anti fungal foot moisturizer
  • Wear high quality gel brace to correct dislocation , reduce abrasion, and relieve pain.

    Corrective Hammer Toe Brace

    I am also very pleased to provide the Comfy Toe Brace directly from our site. It was developed for a ballroom dancer who also suffers from hammer toe, (and she still dances). Made of a space age dry polymer gel makes it far superior to common braces. Not to mention it is nearly invisible when wearing open toe shoes.
