 | | Big toe joint and lesser toe joint pain, arch and instep pain, ankle pain and heel pain are commonly treated with functional foot orthoses. | | | Functional foot orthoses are useful in the treatment of a very wide range of painful conditions of the foot and lower extremities. | | | Prescription foot orthoses also have a much greater potential to effectively and permanently treat painful conditions, all the way from the toes to the lower back, since they are designed specifically for an individual’s biomechanical nature. |

| | Common Foot Ailments |
| | Due to the pain the patient compensates to avoid the big toe joint and starts to develop pain on the outside of the foot. | | | The pain is typically a deep, aching sensation which is aggravated by ambulation. | | | X-rays will allow us to view the bones of the toe to see if a bone spur may be present and causing the problem. |

| | Movement detection at the human big toe -- Refshauge et al. 513 (1): 307 -- The Journal of Physiology Online |
| | Normally it would be expected that toe movements would stretch the extensor hallucis longus muscle, and that this stretch would be reliably transferred to the muscle fascicles. | | | The better movement detection at the toe with the ankle plantarflexed suggests that, in this condition, movements about the interphalangeal joint may be conveyed more faithfully to the muscle fascicles than when the ankle is in mid-range or dorsiflexed. | | | Ankle position greatly affected movement transfer from toe to muscle-tendon junction: no tendon movement was transferred with the ankle dorsiflexed, but all movement was transferred with the ankle plantarflexed. |

| | Big Toe Pain, False Gout, Shin Splints, Hammer Toe |
| | In many cases the pain is actually being sent from trigger points in the tibialis anterior and extensor hallucis longus muscles of the front of the lower leg. | | | Your toes tend to catch on steps and the edge of carpets, which can put an elderly person in jeopardy of broken bones or even worse injuries. | | | Myofascial trigger points (tiny contraction knots) in overused or poorly conditioned muscles of the feet and lower legs are the true cause of most of these familiar kinds of pain in the lower legs, ankles, feet and toes. |

| | Hallux Rigidus? (“Stiff Big Toe”) - DynoMed.com |
| | When conservative treatments fail, surgery may be suggested. There are several types of surgical procedures, including arthroplasty and or the replacement of the MTP with an artificial joint and fusion of the joint. | | | Two problems result from Hallux rigidus: pain and stiffness (loss of motion). Walking is painful and difficult, since the MTP joint cannot move enough to allow the foot to “roll through” while walking. | | | Hallux rigidus can also result from an injury or as a complication of another medical condition, such as gout or infection. It can also result from mechanical or anatomical problems in the foot and ankle, excessive pronation (rolling in) of the ankles, as well as toe deformities, which increase the stress on the joint. |
