Hammer Toe
Hammer Toe is a foot condition where one or more toes bend downward at the middle joint, resembling a hammer. This deformity can cause discomfort and difficulty in walking, as the affected toes may rub against shoes, leading to calluses or corns.
The condition often results from muscle imbalances, arthritis, or wearing tight footwear. Treatment options include wearing proper shoes, using orthotic devices, or in severe cases, surgery to correct the toe's position. Early intervention can help alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications.
