Common Toe Conditions
Toes bear significant load with every step. Structural problems, footwear choices, and biomechanical factors can cause various painful toe conditions that progressively worsen without treatment.
Conditions We Treat
- Hallux valgus (bunion): Bony deformity at the base of the big toe causing pain and footwear difficulty. Physiotherapy cannot reverse the bony change but significantly reduces pain and delays surgical need.
- Hammer toes: Contracted toe joints causing corns and shoe friction. Toe strengthening and footwear advice are central treatments.
- Hallux rigidus (big toe arthritis): OA of the big toe metatarsophalangeal joint limiting push-off and walking. Orthotics and joint mobilisation help.
- Turf toe: Ligament sprain of the big toe joint common in footballers and cricket players on hard surfaces.
- Ingrown toenail (physiotherapy role): Toe strengthening and footwear advice to prevent recurrence after medical treatment.
Orthotics and Footwear Advice
Most toe conditions are aggravated by inappropriate footwear. Our physiotherapists provide detailed footwear and orthotic advice to reduce toe loading and pain.
