HAMMERTOES
Our North Little Rock hammertoe specialists provide expert care for hammertoes, correcting toe deformities, relieving pain, and improving foot function for comfortable, active movement.
At Premier Foot & Ankle, our North Little Rock hammertoe specialists provide expert care for patients throughout Central Arkansas, helping relieve pain and restore foot function. Hammertoes are a deformity in which one or more toes bend abnormally at the middle joint, causing the toe to curl downward or resemble a hammer. This condition often begins as a flexible deformity but can become rigid and permanent over time if left untreated. Muscle and tendon imbalances, structural foot changes, poorly fitting shoes, aging, arthritis, or conditions such as diabetes can contribute to the development of hammertoes.
Even mild hammertoes can impact daily life. Bent toes may rub against shoes, leading to painful corns, calluses, inflammation, or open sores. Walking, exercising, or finding comfortable footwear may become difficult. Persistent irritation can alter gait patterns, cause additional foot problems, and reduce overall mobility and comfort. Without treatment, hammertoes often worsen, making everyday activities increasingly uncomfortable.
Our North Little Rock foot specialists provide comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans to address hammertoes effectively. Care may include footwear guidance, padding or strapping, custom orthotics, special exercises, advanced therapies, or surgical correction for more rigid or painful cases. By relieving pain, improving toe alignment, and enhancing foot function, we help patients maintain active, comfortable, and confident movement.
