Hammertoes

Hammertoes develop when one or more toes become bent or contracted, often causing pressure, rubbing, corns, and discomfort in shoes. Dr. Neville takes a personalized approach to treatment, focusing on relieving pain, improving toe alignment, and helping patients return to more comfortable daily activity.


Treatment Options


Treatment may include wider shoes, padding, splinting, orthotics, and activity modification. If symptoms continue or the deformity becomes rigid, surgical correction may be considered.


Hammertoe Surgery


For painful or persistent hammertoes, Dr. Neville offers surgical correction designed to straighten the toe, reduce pressure, and restore more natural alignment and function.


When to Consider Surgery


Surgery may be appropriate when pain continues despite conservative treatment, the toe becomes rigid, or shoe wear and everyday activity become difficult.
