How to Cushion a Painful Corn on a HammerToe?
Hammertoes are a common foot condition affecting millions of Americans. Unfortunately, many of them have not idea how to cushion a painful hammer toe. When a toe is crooked at the joint it is called a hammertoe. The most common area to become painful is on the top of the joint. The top of the crooked toe will rub against the shoe. Over time, a painful corn will develop. A hammertoe corn is just thick skin from the shoe pressure.
There are many ways to cushion the painful hammertoe corn. One of the most common is to apply a corn cushion pad on the crooked toe. A toe corn pad can be made of foam or felt. The most common is felt. The backing of the pad has adhesive to stick the pad to the skin. A toe corn cushion pad has a hole in it. The hole is situated over the knuckle/joint where the toe rubs on the shoe. This will disperse the shoe pressure around the joint where the corn is located.
Before applying the corn pad, one must make sure the toe skin is clean and dry. Creams or lotion should not be used on the crooked hammertoe before applying the corn pad or it will not stick properly.
Another simple way to cushion a painful toe corn is with lambs wool. Lamb's wool is woven around the crooked to alleviate the friction and pressure of the shoe rubbing on the hammertoe.

Rubber Heel Wedges
Rubber Heel Wedges can be used for pronation or supination problems of the foot and ankle. Heel wedges are designed to help align the calcaneus (heel) at the SubTalar Joint during ambulation to limit excessive pronation or supination. Heel wedges improve foot function by stabilizing weak, rotating ankles, knee and lower back issues.
Rubber varus heel wedge is useful for patients with over pronation, plantar fasciitis, heel spur, weak unstable ankles, and medial knee pain. The rubber heel wedge is placed on the medial side of the shoe to treat varus issues. To treat valgus issues, the rubber heel wedge is placed on the later side of the heel in the shoe.
Atlas Biomechanics' rubber heel wedges are 7 degrees and manufactured from medical grade rubber. They will not flatten out. The heel wedges can be flipped over to treat either varus or valgus conditions.
Research shows that patients with early medial osteoarthritis of the knee were treated with lateral heel wedges and were followed for a period of 7 years and 5 months to 12 years. Those who were treated with valgus heel wedges and analgesics showed a significantly greater improvement in pain score than those treated with analgesics only.

Sesamoiditis Treated With Dancer's Pads
Sesamoiditis is foot condition where the small bones under the big toe joint become inflamed. This can occur from an injury, overuse and poor shoes. One of the most successful but not well know treatment is to use a dancers pad for sesamoiditis.
Dancers Sesmoiditis pads are foot cushions designed to off-load the ball of foot, especially the big to joint. They distribute the weight around the sesamoid bones to allow them to heal. Dancer's pads are manufactured in adhesive backed felt of foam and a self-sticking, re-usable gel. The felt and foam sesamoid pads can be placed either in the shoe or directly on the foot. Most physicians will apply them directly to the foot for greater effect.
When the area surrounding the sesamoid bones in the foot becomes inflamed, the result is a painful condition called sesamoiditis. Sesamoiditis affects the area under the big toe, causing discomfort in the foot during normal activities like walking. Searching your symptoms online might bring up rest as the best way to relieve sesamoid pain, but taking time off work is not always feasible. Even though avoiding walking isn’t practical for many people, treating sesamoid pain is easy, inexpensive and convenient with self-adhesive dancers’ pads. Cushioned felt sesamoid pads from Atlas Biomechanics come in packs of 100, so you can save money by taking advantage of wholesale pricing. Our sesamoiditis pads are made in the United States from top-quality materials. Find yours today, and be sure to read more about treating sesamoiditis in our on-site resource library.
