Exclusive Treatments for Hammertoes Offered by Dr. Vohra 

Pain Relief Techniques for Hammertoe 

PictureDr. Vohra offers elite and specialized care for hammertoes and their implications.
A hammertoe is a term used to describe a crooked, deviated, or contracted toe. Although the condition usually stems from muscle imbalance, it is often aggravated by poor-fitting shoes or socks that cramp the toes. Over a period of years, the tendons that move the toe up and down begin to pull the toe with unequal tension, and the toe then begins to buckle or become contracted, causing an abnormal "v"-shaped bending of the little toes. Patients with this condition often experience pain, swelling, redness and stiffness in the affected toes.
 
Causes of Hammertoes
While most cases of hammertoes are caused by an underlying muscle imbalance, it may develop as a result of several different causes, including arthritis, a hereditary condition, an injury, or ill-fitting shoes. In some cases, patients develop hammertoes after wearing shoes or stockings that are too tight for long periods of time. These patients usually develop hammertoes in both feet.
 
Treatment
Treatment for hammertoes depends on the severity of the condition, but may include home remedies, anti-inflammatory medications, orthotics, or surgery for severe cases. Surgery involves removing a small section of bone from the affected joint through a procedure called an arthroplasty. Arthrodesis may also be performed to treat hammertoes, which involves fusing together one of the joints in the toe in order to keep it straight. This procedure requires the use of a metal pin or implant to hold the toe in position while it heals. Call Dr. Vohra today to see what treatments are available for your feet at 815-254-3338.
