Hammertoe Stretch Video
Dr. Ray McClanahan discusses the hammertoe stretch in this excellent new video post. The hammertoe stretch is a two-part stretch that combines the toe extensor stretch with the toe flexor stretch to help address the multiple tendon imbalances that occur with hammertoes. This simple toe exercise can be performed numerous times per day to assist in hammertoe rehabilitation.

Metatarsal Pads: Small But Mighty
Metatarsal pads are used to help spread the transverse arch (the arch behind the ball of your foot, that runs across the width of your foot), promote the return of overextended toes to their normal anatomical position, and encourage the return of the forefoot fat pad to its rightful position supporting the metatarsal heads. The metatarsals are the long, thin bones in the mid-foot. The heads of the metatarsals are at the ball of your foot, and they connect to the base of the toes. Metatarsal pads help properly realign your metatarsal heads and the fat pad that's underneath them. This, in turn, can help straighten and realign your toes, especially when they are used in combination with Correct Toes.
