If you’re dealing with a crooked toe, it’s important to address the issue to avoid discomfort or further complications. Crooked toes, often caused by conditions like hammertoes, bunions, or genetics, can lead to pain, difficulty walking, and even joint damage over time. The first step is to visit a podiatrist for a proper diagnosis.
For mild cases, non-surgical treatments like custom orthotics, toe splints, or stretching exercises may help alleviate symptoms and improve alignment. Wearing shoes with a wider toe box can also reduce pressure on the affected area.
In more severe cases, surgery may be recommended to correct the toe’s position. This can involve tendon release, bone realignment, or joint fusion, depending on the severity of the condition.
Fixing a crooked toe early can prevent further complications and improve both function and comfort. If you’re experiencing pain or difficulty, don’t hesitate to call Nagler Foot Center 713.529.1010.
