Hammertoe
Is your toe getting curled downwards and causing discomfort? You might have a hammertoe, a foot deformity where one or more toes (usually the second, third, or fourth toe) bend abnormally downwards at the middle joint instead of pointing straight. If ignored, it can become stiff and painful over time, making walking uncomfortable.
At Profoot Doctors, we provide expert care, offering surgical and non-surgical solutions according to your needs to relieve the pain and correct the deformity of hammertoes.
Common Symptoms To Look For

- Irritation, Redness, or swelling on the affected toe
