Hammer Toe Treatment
Hammer Toe is a common foot problems often associated with high heels and pointy-toed shoes. A Hammer Toe is a condition where a toe becomes buckled or crooked. Thick calluses may form on pressure spots. A common surgery, when indicated, involves removing the knuckle of the deformed toe. It's best to avoid this. Your symptoms will vary based on the individual shoe, and the amount of time you subjected your feet to them. It's possible you have foot swelling, or even cuts and scrapes. The higher the heel and skinnier the stiletto, the bigger the ouch factor. Long term use of high heels are thought to cause shortening of the Achilles Tendon, resulting in more pressure being placed on the ball of the foot. Many foot surgeons consider this an underlying cause of several foot problems such as bunions, hammer toe, and flat feet.
Solutions to get your feet feeling better fast include toe stretching and foot exercises. The Achilles Tendon and calf muscle becomes tight from high heels, so it's important to actively perform stretches. Also, the nature of high heels causes the toes to buckle and contract, and can specifically result in hammer toe. Yoga is an excellent method to stay stretched. Perform simple range-of-motion exercises of the ankles as it keeps the blood flowing within the foot and can help remove excess fluids (swelling) in the lower leg. This is best accomplished by moving the foot up, down, left, right, and in circles. |
