Stabilize It: The big toe is bent upwards with turf toe. One would need to keep it from bending with a surgical shoe and tape for about 6 weeks to get the best chance of healing. It may take up to one year before it does not hurt as soft tissue injuries are slow to heal.

Turftoe plates: Are a good idea. You slide them in most shoes and they work by not allowing bending of the joints between the toes and metatartsals.

Rest/ immobilize: Ice and anti-inflammatory medications may help control the pain. Unfortunately the best treatment for turf toe is rest. In severe cases, the use of crutches and complete avoidance of weight bearing may be required. you may also wish to look into a rigid insert to immobilize the joint.
