This is often congenital, ie you are born with ligament laxity and your foot is naturally flat or it can be from trauma, bones or tendon issues.<\/li><li><strong>Dorsal boss:<\/strong> This is a lump that forms on the top of the foot from a bone spur that can rub and cause pain with shoe wear.<\/li><\/ul><p>Claw toes, hammertoes and mallet toes are all toes that are bent into odd positions. They typically affect the smaller toes. Some people find them unsightly and as they get more deformed they start causing painful calluses.<\/p><p>Most people have 3 joints in each of their smaller toes\u2014one at the base, another in the middle, and a final one near the tip.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Claw toes:<\/strong> When you have claw toes, typically multiple joints are affected. There is a downward bending in the middle joint and an upward bending at the base. In some cases, the tip may also bend downward.<\/li><li><strong>Hammertoes:<\/strong> When you have hammertoes, the middle joint is affected, bending downwards. The other joints may remain relatively unaffected.<\/li><li><strong>Mallet toe:<\/strong> In mallet toes, the tip joint is bent. The middle joint and the base joint are typically not affected in mallet toes.<\/li><\/ul><p>Symptoms of these five foot deformities vary, but typically they include pain, discomfort when wearing shoes, changes in foot shape and difficulty walking.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5865f026 e-con-full main__section e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5865f026\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"section-3\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2dabc791 e-con-full main__heading-wrapper e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"2dabc791\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3b33623a main__heading-seo elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3b33623a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Treatment for foot deformities Perth<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-315edb65 main__heading elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"315edb65\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How are foot deformities <span class=\"heading-accent\">treated?<\/span><\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42b04c67 e-con-full main__body-wrapper e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"42b04c67\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a0339a7 text-block elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4a0339a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>First-line treatments are non-surgical and may include:<\/p><p><strong>Orthotic devices:<\/strong> Custom orthopaedic devices that fit inside shoes can correct the shape of the foot.
