Besides the physical impact of broken toes, they can take a profound psychological toll on athletes because they rely heavily on their feet for mobility. While many dismiss a broken toe as a minor inconvenience, for athletes, it can signify missing crucial games, falling behind in training, or even questioning the longevity of their career. It is a medical setback that should be tended to by a podiatrist and requires coping mechanisms such as mindfulness and visualization. If you are an athlete who has broken your toe, it is suggested that you make an appointment with a podiatrist for treatment and support for your overall well-being.
Broken toes may cause a lot of pain and should be treated as soon as possible. If you have any concerns about your feet, contact one of our podiatrists from Grand Blanc Family Footcare. Our doctors will treat your foot and ankle needs.
What Is a Broken Toe?
A broken toe occurs when one or more of the toe bones of the foot are broken after an injury. Injuries such as stubbing your toe or dropping a heavy object on it may cause a toe fracture.
Symptoms of a Broken Toe
Although the injured toe should be monitored daily, it is especially important to have a podiatrist look at your toe if you have severe symptoms. Some of these symptoms include worsening or new pain that is not relieved with medication, sores, redness, or open wounds near the toe.
