Calf Pain and the Morton’s Toe
I just added a new section to the website about Calf Pain and the Morton’s Toe . It is nothing special but I just needed to reminded the public that the Morton’s Toe (Long Second Toe) can be a cause of their Calf pain. As before, and lucky for us Dr. Janet Travell wrote about this during her life time. Here is alittle short history:
In the 1920’s and 1930”s Dr. Dudley J. Morton of Yale Medical University and Columbia Medical School wrote that a problem with the 1st metatarsal bone, known as a Morton’s Toe (Long Second Toe) could be the reason for most foot problems. Dr. Janet Travel, White House physician to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, and Professor Emeritus of Medicine at George Washington University took this concept further by writing and teaching that the Morton’s Toe could cause pain all over your body. She wrote and taught for four decades that a “Morton’s Toe” could cause, back, hip, knee, leg foot and ankles problems. This book will show how it can also cause fibromyalgia, sleep disturbances, and TMJ. The good news is that all of these problems can be treated with a simple pad that costs about two to three dollars.
