Over time, the imbalance in those tendons and muscles begins to cause the joint to bend. Many people are genetically predisposed to hammertoe; it may also be caused by damage to the joint as a result of trauma. Hammertoe is a progressive disease, which means it will keep getting worse unless it's treated. For mild cases of hammertoe, a doctor will likely suggest a change of footwear. The doctor may prescribe pads to ease the pain of any corns and calluses, and medications ranging from ibuprofen to steroid injections for the inflammation and pain. Other options for non-surgical treatments include orthotic devices or splinting to help realign the toe. If these non-invasive treatments don't work, or if the joint is rigid, surgery may be necessary. During the surgery, the doctor makes an incision and cuts the tendon to release it or moves the tendon away from or around the joint. If a nail technician suspects a client has hammertoe, she should recommend the condition be evaluated by a foot and ankle surgeon. Techs may perform a pedicure as they normally would if the skin is not compromised in any way. However, if any sores have developed on the skin, the tech should recommend the client visit a doctor before performing services, especially with clients who have diabetes.
