A member asked:

In what way can you fix crooked toes without surgery.?

Probably cannot: Most toe deformities are a result of heredity and do not correct themselves nor do they correct with splinting, manipulation, or exercises . That being said, surgery to correct the deformity is often very successful, but should only be performed if the deformities are causing pain or affecting normal walking.

Foot deformities: Don't have surgery unless painful, deformed, and not responsive to accommodative shoe wear for 6 months--wide, deep toe box shoes, etc.
