Three Common Causes of Big Toe Pain:

Pain in the first toe is a common symptom that affects many people. Whether you're active or live a sedentary lifestyle you can develop disabling symptoms of first toe pain. The first toe, being the largest and strongest, also receives the greatest amount of constant trauma and stress throughout the gait cycle and normal daily activities.

Three of the most common conditions that cause pain in the area of the first toe are: bunions, stiffening arthritis, and gout.

1. Bunions:
A bunion is an enlarged area where the big toe joins to the first metatarsal (the first long bone in the foot). Your forefoot may appear wider and shoes will fit more tightly around the toes. This enlargement of the great toe is generally related to an underlying misalignment pattern of the first metatarsal and phalange. The first metatarsal tends to misalign in an inward direction, and the great toe angles outwardly.
A bunion will often result in pain and stiffness in the joint of the first toe. If the bunion is not treated appropriately the joint may eventually develop
a callus and/or arthritic calcification.

2. Stiffening Arthritis:
This condition is otherwise known as "hallux rigidus". It is characterized by limited motion at the base of the first toe with joint pain and possible swelling. The pain may be located near the top of the big toe.
This condition can become rather painful and disabling while walking or running. As the patient walks and pushes off with their first toe, they experience stunning pain and limitation because the first toe cannot bend upward into extension.

3. Gout:
Gout is a type of metabolic arthritis that most commonly affects the big toe. It can also affect other joints such as the ankles, knees, and hands. The affected joints may become suddenly painful with a burning sensation, stiffness and swelling. The skin around the painful joints may also have a red appearance. Gouty attacks are more likely to occur during the nighttime.
Gout is a metabolic condition in which the body accumulates too much uric acid. This may be the result of eating excessive red meats, sugary drinks or drinking too much alcohol. Even certain medications, such as diuretics, can cause gout to develop. This painful condition more commonly affects men, and excessive weight gain or obesity may contribute.
All three of these conditions respond favorably to gentle chiropractic adjustments to the feet and the first toe. When dealing with gout, significant dietary and nutritional changes are also commonly necessary.

Most musculoskeletal foot conditions stem from misalignments of one or more of the 26 tarsal bones. When the tarsal bones and joints lose their healthy alignment, it leads to foot pain and dysfunction. Pain in the large toe is often related to a misalignment of the long bones (metatarsals) of the foot or the phalanges (toe bones) or both. In addition to gentle, chiropractic foot adjustments, nutritional or dietary changes may also be indicated to achieve optimal recovery with systemic or metabolic inflammatory conditions such as gout.

Call Dr. Custer today at 434.293.2779 to make your appointment for a foot adjustment!
