Understanding Morton's Toe

Morton's Toe is a common foot condition where the second toe is longer than the big toe, causing various symptoms and discomfort.

Causes of Morton's Toe

The primary cause of Morton's Toe is an inherited trait that affects the structure of the foot bones. This structural imbalance can lead to pain and misalignment.

Signs and Symptoms

• Pain in the ball of the foot
• Calluses or corns
• Swelling and inflammation

Treatment Options

Effective treatment for Morton's Toe involves a multi-faceted approach that may include:

Orthotic Devices

Custom orthotic inserts can help redistribute pressure and provide support for the foot arch, reducing pain and discomfort.

Foot Exercises

Specific exercises and stretches can strengthen the muscles and improve flexibility in the foot, promoting better alignment and function.

Footwear Choices

Choosing appropriate footwear with proper arch support and toe box space can alleviate pressure on the affected area and prevent worsening of symptoms.

Consulting a Podiatrist
