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 improve the condition short of surgery.
Prevention
Soothing Lotion
Hammer toe syndrome can be controlled by following these simple steps. The therapeutic lotion to the right is formulated with zinc and tea tree oil with strong anti fungal, anti bacterial and anti inflammatory qualities as well as being an excellent moisturizer to maintain general foot health.

Corrective 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.
