Chiropractic Care for Turf Toe

Turf Toe Causes the Big to Forcefully Bend Backward

Turf toe is a condition caused when the big toe is forcefully bent upwards. When the toe is bent upwards this stretches the surrounding ligaments past their limits and causes damage to the ligaments and occasionally the outer portion of the bone. 

Pain Worsens When the Toe is Bent due to Turf Toe

One would feel pain in and around the big toe, which worsens when the toe is bent.  It is very important to rest any injury of this nature in order to give time to heal.  Regular icing with compression will help with inflammation and swelling.
