    Great tutorial, thank you. I have some hammertoe on both feet and have never worn pointy shoes, couldn't figure out why this was developing. As soon as you said something about sandals and your toes working to keep the sandals stable, it all made sense. I've only really worn sandals the past 5 years, and this hammertoe is pretty recent. Now to try to reverse it! Thanks so much!

    Why doesn't someone just make or design a brace out of stretchy light weight material rather then tape your foot up constantly. Some type of Velcro would help you to adjust the tightness or looseness of the brace.

    • @escapefromny2012
      @escapefromny2012 4 года назад +6

      They do but those types of things do not work. It's the sticky tape that makes it work.

    • @CryptolockerMD
      @CryptolockerMD 4 года назад +6

      What makes the tape work is the grip. You can never replicate that in any kind of brace or even wrap.

    Tip: Watch your toes for circulation with this taping application. If you find your toe(s) are turning blue and feel numb, remove tape, rest foot for 30 minutes and retape with less stretch until circulation is acceptable. Remember not all tapes stretch the same so the stretch values may be different.

      I tried the hammer toe taping, not sure where I went wrong...I left it on for 5 days + of course showered with it on. It felt really great + I could walk normally. However when I removed it I had an open sore on my toe. I do have pre-diabetes so maybe that played a role since perhaps the skin can't "breathe" under the tape?. Well it's been 3 months now + I just can't heal that wound so I can't put more tape on but I'ld really love to because every night now after about 5-6hrs of sleep I'm woken up with toe pains + spasms like it's being pulled up again. Wish I knew a solution: if you could advise I'ld really appreicate it.

      @@seeamerica1 You need to see a diabetic wound doctor immediately. It sounds like you have infection in your toe if you are having pain. Infection will go to the bone and then you may have to have your foot or toe amputated depending on where the infection is or how deep it is. It takes a long time with medical treatment to get a diabetic wound to heal. I know because my fiance has diabetes and it took almost two years to heal his toe and weekly appointments to the wound care doctor. His toe finally healed with me changing the bandages everyday and cleaning his toe according to Drs orders, thank God for his healing. Then once you're healed you have to treat the healed place with kid gloves because all that healed skin is new and very soft and delicate and could break open again if your not careful with it and protect it, it takes time for the skin to get tough again, that is what his Dr told him. If the infection goes to the bone you can get osteomyelitis and you will need an amputation . Please go to the doctors. My fiance had to have some skin grafts on his toe and and take antibiotics as well. They do the skin grafts right in the doctors office on your wound. They use the skin from a new born baby boys penis from their circumsision for the skin grafts. It's just amazing what they can do. Let me know if you see a doctor. You are in a dangerous situation. Please go to a wound care specialist before it's too late. Best of luck to you.

I will definitely use the hammer toe taping - I had made my own with a ball of cotton wool for the lift.

      K Tape is the best choice, unlike some shoe insert types of aids. Because it is flexible enough and thin enough to fit in shoes and allows you to stay mobile in the shoes you already have. I have looked at the inserts they sell but I know how much bulk that adds to the shoes and then you can not wear that inside the shoe anymore.
      K Tape is nice and thin and can work in every single way the wearer intends to wear it and can be changed. No shoe insert can do that.

    Incidentally, taping may not cure a hammertoe, but a study did show that consistent taping often led to an improvement in the taped toe.

    It might be a bit easier to get the 4 strips off the original strip you cut equal in width if you cut the original strip in half and then cut these 2 strips in half instead of cutting off 4 strips individually.

    I recently had surgery to remove middle joint to straighten my fixed claw toe (about 6 weeks ago). Have been out of the surgical shoe for about 10 days still have some swelling and numbness. Do you think this taping would be appropriate to continue to pull the toe down? Pin has been out about 10 days and surgeon suggested a toe splint to help with the lift.

    Thanks for this clear presentation! I am confused by all the podiatry sites that recommend toe crunches to strengthen the plantar muscles as a treatment for hammer toe. This seems to contradict what you are saying about over-firing of the toe flexors as a cause of hammer toe. Can you clarify this for me? I am sold on taping!

    Thank you. Interesting about the cause as I do wear those Nike type scuffs a lot and yes my toes do tend to claw as I walk to keep feet in slide. Yet my hammer toe is un comfortable after a walk in sneakers and I only get relief when walking in the slides ...so I'm making matters worse every day! My question about taping is would the tape that goes across the foot after the 4 tapes push on the bunion making it worse?

    • @NorthernSoul
      @NorthernSoul  2 года назад

      Hi Dawn. Thanks for your question. It's not suppose to hurt, and it is possible to cut off circulation with this taping so you have to be careful and observe if it's too aggressive with looking at your toe and see if it's turning blue or really different colour wise from the other toes. I'm not sure why everyone is so focused on the taping when I've added treatment to reverse the condition at the end of the video. That's the real take away IMO. Good luck

    The selected toe does look like hammer toe.
    The correct support geometry is difficult to implement, so consider the following before taking any action:
    1. Completely remove the callouses by finding a solution on say u tube or skin specialist.
    2. Do not allow the skin to dry out by applying 12 Percent or any other salicylic acid ointment, avoiding the toe nail as this could cause skin overgrowth over the nail.
    3. Get new sandals as the older ones would have pits or depressions.
    4. Massage the underside of the hardened toe muscle.
    5. This condition could be brought about by wearing waterproof shoes, too small for your feet, for long periods.
    6. Avoid walking on slippery surfaces which cause toes to dig in.
    7. Keep feet warm at night.
    8. Take one dose of antiinflammatory medication for a day or two under doctors prescription and avoid abrasions.
    If any sort of bandage has caused blue/black coloration apply thrombofob gel and get medical advice.
