Dr. Ray McClanahan professional goal is to provide quality natural foot health services with an emphasis on sports medicine, preventative and conservative options as well as education on proper footwear.

Correct Toes

Causes

Inappropriate footwear is the leading cause of different types of crooked toes. Footwear with elevated heels, rigid soles, tapered toe boxes, and toe-spring forces toes into unusual positions, encouraging muscle or tendon imbalances. Curved toes may be associated with past foot trauma.

  • Signs & Symptoms

    The most frequently experienced symptoms associated with crooked toes include:

    • Toe pain, burning, or irritation when wearing shoes
    • Skin thickening
    • Inflammation and redness
    • Toe contracture

  • Natural Remedies & Treatment

    A podiatrist or other appropriate healthcare professional can provide strategies to help reduce the progression of your crooked toe problem or advise adductovarus toe treatment. Physical therapy, toe joint manipulation, and stretching of the muscles and tendons surrounding toes may provide some reduction of the deformity. Common treatment strategies for this health problem include:

    • Toe Extensor Stretch
    • Metatarsal Pads
    • Footwear that is flat, widest at the ends of the toes, and flexible
    • Aligning toes with a toe-spacer like Correct Toes
