Dr.Artis was so amazing. After going to two other podiatrists who gave me no support or hope, Dr. artis made me feel like there can be change for me. She was so patient, kind and informative. I’m actually excited to go back and get my results.
Hammertoe is a progressive toe deformity that can cause pain, pressure, corns, calluses, and difficulty wearing shoes comfortably. While mild cases may initially respond to conservative treatment, advanced hammertoes often become rigid and increasingly painful over time. At To Healthy Feet Podiatry, we evaluate the severity of the deformity and develop individualized treatment plans designed to relieve discomfort, improve toe alignment, and restore daily function.
A hammertoe surgeon in NYC specializes in diagnosing and treating abnormal toe contractures that cause one or more lesser toes to bend unnaturally at the middle joint. Hammertoes may develop due to biomechanical imbalance, arthritis, trauma, inherited foot structure, or years of pressure from ill-fitting footwear. As the condition progresses, patients frequently experience irritation, inflammation, and difficulty participating in normal daily activities. Early evaluation helps prevent worsening deformity and long-term joint damage.
At To Healthy Feet Podiatry, treatment recommendations are based on detailed clinical examination, gait assessment, and diagnostic imaging when necessary. Depending on the flexibility and severity of the deformity, patients may benefit from custom orthotics, shoe modifications, padding, splints, physical therapy, minimally invasive correction, or advanced reconstructive surgery. Our goal is to provide long-lasting relief while preserving function and minimizing recovery time whenever possible.
