Chronic Sore Toe - Fix it by Self-Manipulation

- garymoller.com Gary Moller demonstrates how to manipulate the big toe in a case of hallux rigidus of "stiff big toe" which she suffered after stubbing a large rock several months earlier.
She does not really have "Hallux Rigidus": her injury is better described as a very sore big toe that has failed to resolve. I have used the term, "hallux rigidus" because the majority of cases are not true cases. It may be that the patient has been given this name because it sounds grand and is the precursor for invasive, high value or easy solutions such as surgery, orthotics, powerful medications and steroid injections.
The procedure, when done as demonstrated, is actually quite painless and it is very safe. Keep your feet warm, have tepid foot baths with Epsom Salts stirred in and make sure you get some exercise most day. Exercise in water is perfect!
Most cases of toe pain can be resolved by a simple procedure of mobilisation that you can even do yourself, plus changes to your diet and reviewing other factors, the most frequent being the toxic effects of many common medications such as those prescribed for high blood pressure.
If your toes fails to improve significantly after about 4-6 sessions done once or twice a week, then you need to consider that there may be other factors at play of which there are many. If you find this is the case, please contact me directly: www.garymoller.com/consultation and we will take it from there. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
My partner has been complaining of pain in his toe. He can't move it and it hurts when he walks or run. I can't really tell what's wrong with him because he didn't see a doctor. He found this video and he made we watch. We tried it and I can honestly tell you that he felt a lot better and even he, himself cannot believe. Thank you gazzamoller for sharing this video.
I have hallux rigidus - x ray shows narrow joint space and dorsal,lateral spurring. I am a physician myself, but had been told that I would need surgery. The massage and traction has been really helpful. I have been doing this for a month and have a better range of motion and much less pain. I also started wearing MBT shoes, which have a rocker bottom that greatly reduces stress on the toe joint. Thank you Gary.
Gary Moller I could just kiss your face!!!!!! THANK YOU!! My big toe has been in so much pain for more than 6 months. Dr. wanted to do injections-im in school and can't afford I've switched to Danskos and still pain! Uggh. I had a friend who is a therapist try your method! Omg-instant relief. Walking without pain!
mywavesofgrain 6 months?? how could you walk. i’ve had it for a few days and couldn’t walk since
So right , practica advice + patience
Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. I think it's getting better.

@gazzamoller very good for post op hallux rigidus surgery. I had this surgery two weeks ago- and I am now walking in a regular shoe, although that is due to alot of help with pancreatic enyzmes which help injuried or manipulated tissue heal rapidly along with increasing circulation- and pushing out waste matter in the blood stream. You video is very helpful, I am a massage therapist and I do this twice a day, plus icing it down at night slightly elevated for about an hour. So great video
For those of you that have used Gary's manipulation technique, had you been to a podiatrist first? If so, what did they say was the cause of your hallux limitus?
Does this procedure work on hallux rigidus caused by a dorsal bunion on the metatasal, the joint space is still there
will try these as the expensive insole isnt working....been ongoing for 1yr plus post injury (doing burpees/press ups/HIT classes - toe flexed type injury) cant currently do squats or go on bike due to pain - toe is involved in everything?!
Does this procedure work on Hallux Valgus in terms of addressing the deformity?
If not an it address HV in anyway?
You have to catch the symptoms early and not wait!
Anyone you can recommend in LA to do this ? I have pain in my big toe and sometimes it is hard to even walk . Please help !
I am using a poly rope and duct tape to pull my big toe in a traction. this seems to be effective in relieving the stiffness. Has anyone tried this? I have had trouble walking, and was desperate for a solution. I have been laying down and pulling on the rope to stretch it. I am an athlete and have stubbed my toe numerous times which has caused the hallux rigidus.
there are several reasons for hallux rigidus. I had bunion surgery and after surgery physical therapy worked great to return my big toe to normal range of motion
he did mention that currently she does not have Hallux Rigidus this is after several sessions
I have had an operation a month ago to get rid of my bunion which causes me pain. Also I have hallux valgus. Problem is that after surgery my big toe cannot bend backwards anymore (flex). But I don't have hallux rigidus because on the x-rays you can see the space between the joints. Could this treatment help me also? The joint feels stuck. I have only pain when it bends too far back when (normal) walking. So sorry to have had an operation but now I have to deal with this. Can you help?
Maybe not a complete solution, and maybe not for true hallux rigidus, but I've had excruciating MTP pain for 4-5 days, and I just tried manipulating my toe similar to what Gary showed in the video, and the impact was immediate. Pain is still there, but ROM is vastly improved. Will try a few more times and report back on progress. So far, thank you.
How can I find a trained professional to do this for me in Las Vegas, NV? I have functional hallux limitus and have tried orthotics, stretches, etc..
When you have hallux already and still stub your big toe😠😭Big Toe needs a spa day😍
I kicked my dog with the bad toe and was Damm near crying
@@joeydawson8848 never kick your dog...!! I mean it!
@@manuelaisabel2237 🤔
What if your hallux rigidus is caused by flat feet? My condition was only diagnosed last week after my arches apparently fell in pregnancy five years ago. My bone is now affected and I have been told to walk with insoles in my shoes which slightly elevate the big toe. Will this work for me?
Garry Moller is one of New Zealand's most respected experts in the field of sports rehabilitation. I can personally vouch for Gary's amazing treatments and expert advice. There is very little that beats experience. Gary, do your viewers know just how fit you are? You would leave most guys for dead on a mountain bike at....half your age.
Do tell, Internet Doctor Fi. Your credentials are??
Tried this for about 5 minutes last night and it already felt better. I injured my toe last fall and have had limited movement and pain when it gets hit. I'm going to do this everyday for awhile and see if it helps, which I think it will. Now, I may not have had a bad case, but I'd much rather try these treatments than just sign up for prescription drugs and surgery. Thank you for posting Mr. Moller!!
Whats the result

Hallux Limitus/hallux rigidus: Is there is nothing in between complete loss of joint and a perfectly healthy one? Of course there is! All cases are somewhere along that sliding continuum. Yes, the woman in the video does not have rigidus: This is a toe AFTER several weeks work. I agree she never had true rigidus.
What is there to lose in trying this procedure? Tell me the possible harm? Have you tried this procedure on your patients?
I was first introduced to this 20 years ago. It works.
Yes, it certainly can. I have used this on many stiff joints with success as have many others over the years. First you should check with your Dr as to the cause of the swelling.
Very interesting. I dropped something very heavy on my big toe 13 years ago and about 2 years ago, the occasional pain when exercising a lot etc, became a permanent limp.
A cortisone shot in my Bursa stopped the pain completely (for the moment). So I can try this trick now cause I have no pain.
How is your toe now?
Alt Narrative how is your toe now??
@nullValue0 did you have surgery? Im 26 as well, and always had a somwhat stiff big toe, and stubbed it often playing sports, but recently stubbed it and the pain didnt go away. manipulation on my own helps, but it isnt completely healed, and the tendons are sore surrounding the joint. is this your experience? have you tried noninvasive treatments before surgery? hope everything went well

Hi ArtBenny, Sorry to have taken so long to reply. Can you tell me how you are doing today and I may have some advice.
The joint near the nail is up since I'm a kid can it be fixed and manipulated or would i need corrective surgery...

See a podiatrist to conform the cause. It may be bunions from poor fitting shoes and/or a condition called hallux valgus
I do believe if someone did that to my big toe that I would probably pass out from the pain. Yeah... my toe hurts that bad. Never stops hurting just has days where it is better than others.
Did u get it fixed

Hi Gary . Very interesting . I ve been searching for help . Went to a podiatrist as quite suddenly seemed to develop what I thought was bunion .not painful but don’t want it to get that way . Podiatrist said not bunion and is Hallux limitus , also said rotating foot inward as walk , sold me arch support insoles for my existing shoes and recommended Vionic and fitflop sandles and shoes I assume. That was it . No advice re exercises etc so am on Internet . Any thoughts /advice please . Noticed one with a ball squeezed bt heels to strengthen glutes ec . Thank you

Thank you so much. I could not find any relief for my pain
Sierra, have you been doing this once a week for at least four weeks?
I did it as much as I could tolerate and whenever I thought to and now it’s not hurting anymore as bad. !!
@@summersaveeme132 let me know how you are in about a month from now, thanks.
@zizyphus99 Maybe your toe is too deteriorated to benefit. I definitely have hallux rigidus by x-ray and clinical findings, and the manipulation has made an enormous benefit.
woggy - yes it can
I am very interested in doing this technique by a "trained professional" as you state. However, where do I find such a doctor in Los Angeles? Do you have any suggestions? I have Hallux Limitus right now and I dance ballet twice a week. It is becoming painful and I do not want it to get worse! Please help. I am doing this to myself but I know a pair of strong trained hands will be more effective. I'm desperate. I do not want to lose my mobility. Thanks.
you can do it to your toe yourself!!! That's what I did on mine...everyday.... but I ultimately went with surgery because every non invasive method i did, including these movements and similar ones from other videos, for years, and my condition still got more painful and inflamed. I chose surgery so that I could get rid of the pain and restore the range of motion before the cartilage burst.

@@gazzamoller just the sa. The orthopedic suggested to lock permanently the articulation with a screw. I'll wait since i dont feelbpain, except if i run or put much pressure on the toe
Is it really possible to have fully (100%) permanently restored movement of big toe which has developed Hallux Rigidus without surgery?...Are you suggesting to that Gary,or something else?,I just want to be clear about that because i have this problem,but im willing to try this option - "only if it solves problem in complete",not by little improvements,so therefore none of the comments below didnt solve the mystery of truth from my first question?!

Viewers should go to my website and read the dozens of articles relating to this video. Google Search "gary moller foot pronation" and you will get most of these. You will also gather that this procedure works for many who were given no other option than surgery. Most cases of "Sore Big Toe" are not the extreme that zyzy describes. These will respond well to this procedure especially when backed up with nutrition interventions.
It made me feel better ❤❤ thanks a lot

Sorry but this lady did not appear to have what I call hallux rigidus before he started the manipulation. I have had hallux rigidus since my late 20's in both big toes and I am now 68 years old. Someone with this condition would scream if they had their toes manoeuvred in this manner and the suggestion that you walk in bare feet is mad. The only way I can walk for any amount of time without pain is in rocker shoes/trainers. I mostly wear shape ups by Skechers. If I wear an ordinary pair of shoes for a short time, the pain experienced for the next few days is just not worth it. I do not want to be disrespectful but this video is not correct. I have been to a number of doctors and podiatrists and not one of them has attempted anything like this.
TRUE ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS PAIN WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND
He said that she had already had several treatments.
I have hallux rigidus and with manipulation like this, the toes does move more.
I am not as flexible as she is yet, but with continued therapy I hope to be.
She odes have Hallux Rigidus, but not as badly as you and I may have it. My toe joints are MASSIVE! Her arthritic issues are new and fairly mild compared to what you and I are going through. I wish someone had done this to me in order to prevent me from needing surgery.
Hello sir , i play soccer , after playing my toe becomes rigid and painful but say after it becomes normal , can it be hallux rigidus??

Do as the video says. Pull the big toe. Rock it back and forth. Do it for at least 10minutes. You will see a 90percent improvement. There is no need to see a therapist. Do it at home. Pull of your socks and do as Gary says. Just watch the video. Thanks Gary. Now I can walk around without a stupid limp. No more pain. I love you Gary. You have made my pain go away. :-) m
Thanks, Milton

The woman in this video absolutely does not have Hallux Rigidus. Her dorsiflexion at the beginning shows that this video is nonsense.
roof30 I love the way you said that 😂😂
He did say at the beginning that she's had several treatments....
roof30 k
roof30 I have hallux rigidus in both feet. I’m getting new toe joints starting in a few weeks. Currently, my toes don’t move a portion of this much, and moving it around like he does in this video would probably earn a kick in the mouth (totally involuntary).
Oh man, the internet doctors have arrived. Get ready to git lurnt
If manipulation doesn't help because you have arthritis - be sure to look up Cartiva Synthetic Implant for the Great Toe - it's an alternative to fusion! You will be able to move your MTP joint after this procedure whereas with fusion you won't be able to.
I was going to have the Cartiva surgery but unfortunately my insurance company would not approve it. Unfortunately if you are on Medicare they will not approve it so I am left with either the fusion or just removing the bone spurs.
Call 1-844-262-3773 or go to cartiva@patienthelpline.net. This is a new patient/physician support program whereby healthcare advocates through Rollins Advocacy and Consulting can provide assistance with pre-authorizations and appeals involving Cartiva.
He starts by saying this should not be attempted at home by a non professional. Why then would he put this video out to the public?
It is safe. No complications reported over several years.
I mean we all know we are just gonna do it ourselves... that said anyone have results?

I have this Hallux rigidus, and just touching my toe is excruciating, I have had this done for several weeks and in no way did this work out the way this video describes. I had taken the alternative Cortizone shots and even that does not get rid of the stiffness, just the pain...and getting that shot absolutely sucked too. After seeing a couple of doctors, I figure the only way to get this resolved is to just lob it off...I'll let you know how that goes...
My doctor wouldn't consider having mine removed :(. Cortisone helped me though
Don't do anything to your joints if there is any damage. Get it x rayed to confirm this and then see the consultant specialist.

Why does it look like her food is so long
Ac
Honestly surgery aint that bad. I had all 3 middle toe tendents cut from my surfboard fins. I didnt feel it for like 15 mins. I noticed my foot cut after the fall im paddling and can feel my skin flapping threw the water. I then look back and see a cut and blood it didnt look bad i just saw a lot of blood. I was like 3 feet away from a popular fishing peir also to add to the fun. I finally got to shore but my foots now covered in sand so i got a life guard tower. Im like "Hey, I cut my foot you got anything to help it" (hoping for guaze and remember my foot didnt hurt yet i just thought i cut it). Hes like yeah walks out with a band-aid looks at my foot and said like "Yeah thats a lot of blood not what i had in mind". He goes back up and I go to the little showers and he comes over with a whole med kit thing. We start washing most the sand out of my foot and people start surronding me like "Holy shit he got bit by a shark" cause you can now see my cut and bloods driping every where around me. Now the pain starts settling in the life guards asking me questions and holy fuck it felt like my foots getting stabbed by a knife every movement I made. These cops come up due to all these people and the life guard told them to drive me over to the nearby ER. They do so and fucking carried me in. Finally I get some shots it numbs out. I look over to see see him with tweezers PICKING in side my cut LIFTING UP MY MUSCLE getting sand out I threw up. He then stiched up my foot gave me crutches and said in 30 mins good luck. Never got pain meds other then the shots cause im a recovering addict. So the next 2 weeks was hell had a wheel chair everyswhere couldnt drive and yeah. But in other words the surgery wasnt bad. But if the surgery evolves tendents stiching good luck i have terrible foot paint on the webs between my 2 big middle toes had no feeling i can only bend them a little bit. When u touch they cut i feel a sharp stab so its hard to clean the foot, and when sombody steps on it well it feels exactly the same as when u first got it not a sharp stab but a fucking knife threw ur foot. So you wanna go to a concert be prepared for many knives and a lot of pain.
Even though my foots still fucked. Tendent surgery is needed because they dont grow back u need them stiched together. But if you have a foot pain and want to get surgery even though its not bad dont do it if it evolves tendants unless their cut or somthing major. In the end its been only 3 years and ive had more foot pains then u can imagine trust me i have this in my big toe right now not on the side that had surgery and fuck that never would this petty sting account for a whole surgery. Take my word for it

Charlie uaintgetnolastname I second the stfu, but you obviously already have so...
you're clueless about hallux surgery--my sis had it and the recovery is three months, and you CAN'T walk on that foot for the first few weeks
Hi Charlie, how are you doing these days?
My toe was hurthing just watching this. I have had this condition for close to 15 years, now in both big toes. I have no current treatment other than stretching the toe standing against wall or manually pulling myself, not nearly as much as in this video. I can not walk for more than 2 miles without limping, softball also exacerbates pain, limping after 2 games. Seeking a myofacial release therapist. I will show a therapist this video, bite down hard on a towel, and see what happens.

Looks painful- lol- but necessary to get better.
Not that painful at all if the toe is first tractioned to separate the joint then gently mobilised.
But what part of this is self manipulation.
You can do it on yourself but it can be awkward and depends on how flexible you are.

Absolute quackery ! This does nothing to replace / preserve the tissue inside the joint- might be good for a sprain but no way for hallucinating rigidus.
Robert Guzikowski how did I get this hallucinating rigidus you speak of? Will I trip balls?
Just watching this manipulation makes me wince in agony.
Hi Cheryl. My apologies for taking so long to reply: my access to this channel has been out for a few years until now.
One of the keys, as described in the video is to traction the toe, to separate the joint surfaces, THEN gently mobilise the toe. When done properly, it is relatively painless and works a treat.
Zizyphus99 is correct. You cannot manipulate a hallux rigidus joint better. This video is straight up a promotion to get someone to pay xxx.xx amount to get your toe moved around by gary moller who is not a Dr. I am sure you have some fine supplements you could probably sell people too?
I have some snake oil you can use for chain lube on your mountain and road bike there Gary. It will make you ride 10x's faster than your friends.
are you claiming to be a doctor or something?
Hasn't stem cell therapy advanced to a stage where this can be completely cured??
Possibly, but why would a person spend potentially thousands on a yet unproven therapy when a massage once a week will do the job?
@@gazzamoller I have been doing these exercises for over three years, but notice no significant improvement.
@@ehteshamraja5974 , thank you for letting me know.
If you have failed to respond after a few sessions in a positive way there will be other factors at play. There are too many possibilities to list.
Some of the more common are:
Medication side effects that may cause toxicity, or the mobilisation and then deposition of calcium in the joints.
Glandular issues, most commonly thyroid dysfunction.
Circulation decline associated with conditions like diabetes.
Lack of some key nutrients such as the fat-soluble vitamins, manganese, chromium.
Ehtesham, you may have none of these, but most people do have underlying sub-clinical health issues that are quietly percolating away.
Think of your toes as being your early warning system. If you have problems with feet and toes that relate to poor healing then you need to be concerned that there is something starting to go wrong deep in your body.
You need to investigate and consider every possibility.
You are welcome to contact me and consult by video, but bear in mind that I am usually booked up weeks in advance for such consultations.

@@gazzamoller tks for the detailed reply. I have no other health issues, take no medication and am 64yrs old.
Besides toe manipulation I have tried infra red heat, ultra sound therapy, and anti inflammatory medicine...but to no avail.
I am hoping to get rid of this condition naturally, one day.
@@ehteshamraja5974Raja are you absolutely sure it is the joint and not the tendon on the underside of the toe? Press with your finger or thumb firmly into the underside of the toe where the last joint is and tell me if it is the most tender part of your toe pain.
no use of this method
In no way will manipulation "fix" hallux rigidus, which the girl in the video obviously does not have. And in no way will the movement "grind out the arthritic condition." Bologna. Pulling the toe out of joint will provide momentary relief, because the bones aren't touching each other, but that's it. It will not fix the underlying problem of a loss of cartilage, and growth of bone spurs prohibiting upward movement of the toe. (What, pulling the toe will magically cause cartilage to regrow?)
