Question
Can you tell me what the most up-to-date remedy(ies) are for hammertoe, other than surgery, and what the success rates are?  I am asking on behalf of a senior-age massage client I am working with.

Thank you.

Answer
There is no way to correct a hammertoe without surgery.
There are ways to make the patient more comfortable dealing with it. The most popular type of pad now is a gel pad.. look at http://www.silipos.com
for details

NEVER use a medicated corn pad or a liquid corn remover.
