Hammertoes

Hammertoes, Claw toes, and Mallet toes are all problems that refer to a your toe contracting in an abnormal way. Hammertoes and other related problems can be caused by genetics (inherited from your parents) as well as the activities you do, the things you put on your feet, and the way you walk. Each of these deformities can cause pain if left untreated.

Some hammertoes can be accommodated with padding and shoe gear changes while others may require surgery. Dr. Pierson can help you decide the best treatment for your feet and your lifestyle.
