Tacking the Pain of a Banged Toe
Breaking or spraining a toe can be very painful, but how can long term toe pain be treated?
Picture this, if you can: You’re walking barefoot past a piece of furniture or through a doorway and suddenly your spatial awareness deserts you. The sound of the impact hits you just before the pain. Suddenly you’re using language that would make a squaddie blush.
Broken and sprained toes can be extremely painful. They usually heal within 6-8 weeks. Sometimes, the impact of the injury can lead to joint dysfunction, which results in longer term pain.
Painful toes can affect lots of aspects of our lives and get in the way of regular exercise. As well as the original injury, painful toes can cause us to alter the way we walk (aka altered gait). The more this goes on, the more impact it can have on our bodies. Ultimately it can lead to pain in the knee, shin, calf or heel.
If this sounds familiar to you, and your toe pain is still lingering after 8 weeks, come and see us at Kube Medical. One or two treatments is usually enough deal with toe dysfunction, though resolving any related gait issues is likely to take a bit longer.
