Episode description

A plantar plate sprain is an overstretched, possibly even partially ripped ligament on the bottom of one your little toe joints in the ball of the foot.

When you get a plantar plate sprain, there are really 3 issues:

  1. Inflammation
  2. Tissue damage
  3. Stress preventing healing

You have to address all three if you really want to get better quickly and get back to running.

Today on the Doc On The Run podcast we’re talking about how a runner can heal a plantar plate sprain.
