Common questions we get about these toes: 👣 Why do we develop them? - We get toe deformities from incorrect fitting footwear, genetics, gait abnormalities, muscle or nerve damage, injuries, and different types of arthritis (just to name a few!) 👣 Are they painful? - This is entirely dependent on the person. Some people have no pain at all, some find their toes extremely painful. 👣 What problems might I face if I have one of these deformities? - You can get callous and corns, have trouble with footwear, and impaired balance and gait. 👣 What can a podiatrist do for me? Podiatrists can: - show you how to tape your toes to reduce the severity of the deformity - remove callous and corns to help you carry on pain free - provide footwear advice to make sure you’re in the right size and width - construct small toe props or spacers to help reduce rubbing of your toes - fit covers on your toes to reduce rubbing on footwear - run through some exercises to prevent your toes from getting worse . If you’re having toe trouble give us a call on 1300 880 942 to see one of our amazing podiatrists and get yourself sorted! . . . . . . . #podiatry #podiatrist #toes #feet #foot #clawtoe #clawingtoes #hammertoe #mallettoe #toedeformities #toedeformity #exercise #exercises #footwear #footwearadvice #lowerlimb #alliedhealth #alliedhealthprofessionals #podiatryclinic
