Suggest Treatment For Broken Toe
I broke my 4 toe on September 1. 2011. I have been buddy taping it and icing on a regular basis . I am playing in an 8 day volleyball tournament starting Oct. 7th. Is there a better more secure taping I can do. My position on the team requires alot of jumping?

Hi,
To guide you properly there is need to see your X-ray. It is enough to have a buddy strapping with nearby toe for 6 weeks in case of hairline fractures. Nothing else is required.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
