Has a Twisted Toe?

Regardless of how severe your sprain is, follow these tips to reduce pain and swelling: Rest your foot and toe as much as possible. Apply a cold compress to your toe for 15 to 20 minutes several times a day, for several days after the injury. Elevate your foot when sitting or lying down.

How long does it take for a twisted toe to heal?

There are no broken bones. Sprains generally take from 3–6 weeks to heal. A toe sprain may be treated by taping the injured toe to the next toe.

How do you fix a twisted toe?

Crooked toes can often be corrected by lifestyle strategies, such as choosing well-fitting footwear and avoiding high heels. At-home treatments, such as wearing a splint or toe spacer, may also help. If the crooked toe has become set and rigid, or if it doesn't respond to at-home treatment, surgery may be recommended.
