HAMMERTOE TREATMENT IN WACO, TX
Relieving Pain & Correcting Toe Deformities
Hammertoes are deformities that cause one or more toes to bend abnormally at the middle joint. Over time, hammertoes can become rigid, painful, and increasingly difficult to treat without intervention. At Brazos Foot & Ankle, we provide treatment options designed to relieve discomfort, improve alignment, and restore function.

A hammertoe occurs when an imbalance in the muscles, tendons, or ligaments causes a toe to remain bent in an abnormal position. This can lead to pain, pressure, corns, and difficulty wearing shoes.
