12. The Use of Toe Braces
If you can’t find KT tape or you feel like it might not be the best way to deal with your individual injury, then there are plenty of other alternatives on the market which can help you to bring relief to what’s wrong. Toe fractures are one of the many which can benefit from the use of braces where KT tape is not available, especially when combined with some of the other methods mentioned earlier on in this article (such as the buddy tape method of keeping a toe fracture in one place).
Where you have a broken toe it might be best to take some time off work in careers where you have to spend a lot of time in your feet, but where you can’t take time off, the best thing you can do is to keep the fracture as still as possible while the rest of you is still able to move.
Some types of toe braces can be worn hidden under shoes or socks, and they can help to keep an injury in one place for the healing period.
