How to treat hammertoes
If you can still manually straighten your bent toe, conservative at-home and clinical treatments are the first line of defence:
* Footwear Modifications: Avoid tight, narrow, or pointed shoes, as well as high heels that shift body weight forward. Switch to shoes with a wide, deep toe box and supportive soles.
* Orthotics and Insoles: Over-the-counter or custom orthotic inserts help stabilize the foot, prevent it from flattening excessively, and rebalance the pull on the tendons.
