How Do You Get Rid Of Hammertoes?
Hammertoes are called such because they are a contraction of the toes that make them resemble the claw of a hammer. These abnormalities are usually caused by wearing shoes that are too tight and force your toes into unnatural positions. Hammertoes can be very painful if left unattended. If you were to visit a podiatrist, he/she would most likely suggest surgery to correct the changed structure of the hammertoe. This is not always necessary. In most cases, you can get rid of hammertoes on your own, without having to resort to surgical procedures. Buy a hammertoe splint that best suits your needs. There are splints that are designed to correct both single hammertoes and multiple hammertoes. You can find some online by going to the website under the additional resources.

Also, there will be some brands that will allow you to wear socks over them,
