Toe Deformities – Understanding the Impact & Treatment Options
Toe deformities can lead to pain, corns, blisters, wounds, and cosmetic concerns. If left untreated, these issues may worsen over time, affecting your mobility and overall foot health.
At our clinic, we offer conservative care for bunions, hammertoes and claw toes, tailored to your needs. Soft-tissue procedures (for example, tenotomy for flexible claw toes) may be offered where appropriate. Bunion (bone) surgery is not performed at our clinic; when it may be needed, we refer you to a podiatrist or orthopaedic surgeon.
Conservative & Non-Surgical Options
√ Custom Orthotics – May help support foot alignment and pressure distribution.
√ Toe Splints & Padding – Help reduce friction and pressure on affected areas.
√ Footwear Modifications – Supportive shoes may help reduce discomfort.
√ Stretching & Strengthening Exercises – Improve flexibility and reduce strain.
For bunion relief, our Bunion Care Kit includes protective pads and toe spacers designed to help ease discomfort.
Considering Surgical Treatment?
For severe or progressive toe deformities, surgery may be considered. Bunion and other bone surgery is referred to a podiatrist or orthopaedic surgeon. A foot assessment helps decide whether a referral is appropriate.
