Hammertoes Are Not Just "Crooked Toes"
The Reality Check: In Bloomfield Hills, we see many patients who wait too long. A hammertoe is a structural failure. Left untreated, the constant pressure can lead to open sores (ulcers) and permanent joint dislocation. Early intervention on Woodward Ave can prevent the need for major reconstructive surgery later.
Conveniently located for patients in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.
The "Tug-of-War" Effect: Why Your Toes Are Curling
A hammertoe is more than just a crooked joint; it is a mechanical failure of the tendons in your foot. Think of your toe as being caught in a permanent game of tug-of-war where the muscles on the bottom are pulling much harder than the ones on top. This imbalance forces the middle joint to pop upward and “lock” into a bent position. Whether it is caused by years of wearing tight shoes or an inherited foot shape, once the toe is stuck, it begins to rub against your footwear. This constant friction is the root cause of the painful corns and calluses that make every step a struggle.
The Mechanical Truth: Why Your Toes Are Curling
Muscle & Tendon Imbalance
This is the most common cause. When the muscles that pull the toe down become stronger than the ones that pull it up, the toe "locks" into a curled position.
Foot Structure & Genetics
The shape of your foot plays a massive role. If you have a high arch or a collapsed arch (flat feet), your toes often "grip" the ground to help stabilize your walk.
Inflammatory Stress & Injury
Conditions like arthritis can damage the protective cartilage in the toe joints, causing them to settle into a bent position.
