Turf Toe: What It Is and How We Treat It
October 3, 2025
If you’ve ever felt sudden pain in your big toe after running, jumping, or pushing off during sports, you may have experienced
turf toe
. This injury happens when the big toe joint bends too far upward, stretching or tearing the soft tissues that support it.
Turf toe may sound minor, but it can seriously affect your performance and daily activities if left untreated. The good news? With the right care, most people recover fully and return to the activities they love.
Our board-certified podiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating turf toe and other sports injuries. If you’re dealing with toe pain, don’t wait— schedule an appointment today and take the first step toward recovery.
What Are the Symptoms?
Turf toe often causes:- Pain and swelling at the base of the big toe
- Stiffness or limited motion
- Difficulty walking, running, or pushing off the foot
Without proper care, turf toe can become a long-term issue that limits your mobility.
How Do We Treat Turf Toe?
Our podiatrists start with a careful exam and, if needed, X-rays or imaging to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment depends on the severity of the injury:- Mild sprains: Rest, ice, taping, and stiff-soled shoes
- Moderate sprains: A walking boot, physical therapy, and gradual return to activity
- Severe sprains: Longer recovery time and, in rare cases, surgery
