Hammertoes, which occur when your toe becomes stuck in the bent or flexed position, can be either flexible or rigid. The majority of flexible hammertoes respond well to orthotics or a change in footwear. All it takes is time. However, rigid ones, and some of the more stubborn flexible cases, will need surgery to correct them. Heel spurs are calcium deposits. The form on the underside of your foot. As with flexible hammertoes, orthotics are generally the first course of treatment. A comprehensive plan may also include stretching exercises or physical therapy in addition to the orthotic.
