- Abstract
Metatarsophalangeal joint sprain, otherwise known as "turf toe," is a common sports injury that affects the first metatarsophalangeal joint. This injury helps to account for lost playtime among athletes and active individuals. Chinese medicine classifies three stages of trauma and provides a treatment plan according to stage and severity. Injury causes, symptoms, risk factors, acupuncture treatment, herbal formula soaks, and prognosis are discussed.
