Common Toenail Conditions
Our nail care services go beyond basic grooming. We specialize in treating a variety of common nail conditions that can affect your foot health.
Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, swelling, and sometimes infection. This condition can be caused by improper nail trimming, tight shoes, or injury. If left untreated, ingrown toenails can become infected and lead to more serious complications.
- Symptoms: Heel pain, especially first thing in the morning or after long periods of rest
- Non-Surgical Treatment: Stretching exercises, custom orthotics, night splints, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications.
Treatment Options
- Professional Nail Care: We gently remove the ingrown portion of the nail to reduce discomfort and prevent further issues.
- Surgical Procedures: In severe cases, we may recommend a minor surgical procedure to permanently correct the ingrown toenail.
Fungal Nail Infections (Onychomycosis)
Fungal nail infections are a common condition that causes thickening, discoloration, and crumbling of the nails. Fungal infections thrive in warm, moist environments and are highly contagious. If left untreated, they can spread to other nails or cause more severe problems.
Treatment Options
• Antifungal Treatments: We use topical or oral antifungal medications to treat and eliminate the infection.
• Laser Treatment: Laser therapy is an advanced option for treating fungal nail infections, targeting the infection without damaging surrounding tissue.
Thickened Nails
Thickened nails can occur as a result of aging, trauma, or certain medical conditions such as psoriasis or diabetes. Thickened nails can be painful and may cause discomfort when walking or wearing shoes.
Treatment Options
- Nail Trimming and Debridement: Our podiatrists safely trim and thin thickened nails to alleviate discomfort and improve nail function.
- Medication: If thickening is caused by a fungal infection, we may prescribe antifungal treatments.
Nail Trauma or Injury
Injuries to the nails can occur due to trauma, such as stubbing your toe or dropping a heavy object on your foot. Nail trauma can cause pain, bruising, and, in some cases, permanent damage to the nail.
Treatment Options
- Nail Repair: We provide gentle care for injured nails, including the application of protective bandages and drainage of blood if necessary.
- Surgical Intervention: In cases where the nail is severely damaged or lost, we may perform a procedure to remove the nail and ensure proper healing.
