The main reason for tingling to occur is from pressure on a nerve. Running can cause continual pressure on nerves from long-term repetitive motion and the resultant swelling of feet, which is why tingling toes is a common complaint among runners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tingling toes can be the result of a footwear-related issue. If this is the case, they can generally be relieved by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wearing thinner socks <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">changing the way your shoes are laced<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">changing the shoe itself. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Underlying injuries<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tingling can also occur because of an underlying injury or issue, so it\u2019s important to know what to look out for. Here are five common injuries that cause tingling in runners:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Neuritis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Inflammation of the nerves that run between the bones at the ball of the feet. This is usually resolved by changing your footwear and lacing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Neuroma<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Thickening of the nerve at the ball of the foot where it fills up the available space and hurts even when not active. Appropriate footwear, podiatry and sometimes surgery are necessary, depending on the progression of the symptoms. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Bursitis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Fluid-filled sacs become enlarged due to pressure between the heads of the metatarsals (long bone of the feet). These sacs fill the space between the bones and put added pressure on the nerves. Appropriate footwear, podiatry and if no resolution, a visit to a sports doctor for cortisone injections may be needed. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Synovitis or joint capsulitis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Inflammation of the fluid within the toe joint, usually from trauma (e.g. landing badly on a rock) or when the head of the metatarsals are driven into the ground. The latter is a biomechanical problem that needs to be addressed with podiatry care. Like bursitis, the increase in size of the joint can put pressure on the adjacent nerve, creating tingling as a secondary symptom. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Plantar plate tear<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The plantar plate is a strong fibrous structure that sits beneath each of the joints at the ball of the foot. Its role is to withstand the high loads at these joints and to create stability. If the toes are over extended repetitively or with excessive force (e.g. running up hills), thickening or a small tear can develop in the plantar plate. Over time, the affected toe can drift apart from its adjacent toe, and develop both synovitis and a claw toe. These changes to the joint integrity can lead to subtle tingling of the toes. &nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of the five injuries, plantar plate tears are the least common, but the most misdiagnosed. This is because there can be a combination of symptoms from the other four injuries above. &nbsp;This can lead to unsuccessful treatment plans and ongoing frustration for the runner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever the cause of your tingling toes, it\u2019s important not to ignore the issue. If your tingling toes are not relieved by simple footwear or lacing adjustments there may be an underlying injury that is the cause. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our podiatry team are all runners and understand how frustrating an injury or training set back can be. We can help you get back to running without tingling toes or discomfort as quickly as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Come in and see us at the intraining Running Injury Clinic.
