Are there any non-surgical solutions for hammer toes?

Yes: But they are more options rather than solutions. Conservative measures provide comfort from the problem, but does not cure it. This can be a better option for some. They include shoe recommendations and stretching of them, removing corn formation, and using pads to shield the prominent knuckles of hammertoes. If these measures do not work, you may need to consider surgical options.

Hammertoe care: Hammertoes can limit your ability to get into regular shoes. Try having your feet measured for more comfortable shoes with a higher toebox. Padding, hammertoe slints, oral anti inflammatory medications and orthoces may also be of benefit.

Bent toe.: If you catch hammertoes in the early stages, a small, in-office procedure to release one of the tendons will often allow the toe to lie straight again. If the toe deformity has become rigid, the surgery is more involved. It's an outpatient procedure in an operating room, and can involve bone cuts, pins, screws, or other implants. Without surgery, your best bet is padding to reduce your discomfort.
