Curling toes help

[Graciedog123]

Does anyone have suggestions on how to reverse or improve curling toes?

[Ksbhutani12]

Yes, the best way to manage curling toes is a Botox injection on the bottom of your feet. Your neurologist can do it for you

I too get botox and I think it helps. But take your meds (early if needed) and in 30 min or so you may see relief. I also found excercises on line

That is a form of Dystonia which I have in my feet and neck. The Botox works great for that.

Before resorting to Botox, try placing the foot flat on the floor, and then lifting the heel to stretch out the toes. Repeat as needed.

You might also try magnesium chloride spray (mag oil), just spray on lightly and rub in. The quickly available magnesium chloride helps to relax the muscles. It also alleviates muscle cramping in about a minute after application. It is also available as a lotion which generally feels a little better on the skin.

one thing that helps me is toe spacers. There are different kinds available.

[healthabc in reply to gomelgo]

definitely topical magnesium, and the toe spacers. I tried several- "Correct Toes" is my favorite

I had excruciating pain in my toes. Neurologist decided on Botox treatment every 3 months. I’ve had 8 treatments. So far; so good! 🤞. I've recently been dx with Osteoporosis,(yet to start medication )and dx with scoliosis. I have medication for PD. Similar to you I think, Graciedog.

I use flat shoes with wide toe box. It not only reduced my toe curling but strengthened by legs and feet. I have better balance now. I did try Botox at first which worked, but I found my muscles were getting weaker and not developing.
