When the smallest toe on your foot, the pinky toe, becomes injured or sore, taping it to the toe next to it can provide stability and protection. This technique is commonly used for a variety of toe injuries, such as turf toe, stubbed toes, and stress fractures.
Taping the pinky toe can help to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation. It can also help to prevent further injury and promote healing. In some cases, taping the pinky toe may be necessary to keep the toe in place and prevent it from moving out of alignment.
