INGROWN TOENAILS
We’ve all made the painful mistake of trimming our nails too short at some point. This can sometimes result in ingrown toenails, where the nail grows into the surrounding skin rather than outward, often leading to infection. Ingrown toenails typically occur on the sides of the big toe and can be triggered by factors like pressure from shoes, injury, fungal infections, and other causes.
Common treatments include:
- Warm water soaks
- Properly fitted shoes and socks
- Trimming nails straight across (not rounded)
If there’s an infection, antibiotics may be prescribed.
BUNIONS
A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe. Bunions can develop due to an inherited structural defect, excess stress on the foot, or existing medical conditions.
Although bunions don’t always require medical treatment, if you’re experiencing pain, discomfort, or changes in your foot’s appearance, our podiatrist can help alleviate symptoms and offer treatment options.
HAMMERTOES
Hammertoe is a deformity where one or both joints of the second, third, fourth, or fifth toes begin to bend outside of their normal alignment. Pressure from tight shoes can cause pain and other symptoms to develop.
Hammertoes often start with mild symptoms but worsen over time. Addressing the condition early can stop it from worsening, and non-invasive treatments can provide relief. However, if left untreated, hammertoes can become stiff and require surgery.
TOENAIL FUNGUS
Toenail fungus causes thickened, discolored, or deformed nails. While it may seem like just an aesthetic concern, fungal infections can lead to more serious symptoms and pain.
Conditions like diabetes, a weakened immune system, and the natural aging process are associated with a higher risk of fungal infections. Toenail fungus is more frequently seen in older adults and individuals with ongoing health conditions.
We offer effective treatments for toenail fungus, from topical antifungals to laser therapy and prescription medications.
COMMON FOOT CONDITIONS
Conditions such as flat feet, plantar fasciitis, and arthritis can lead to discomfort and interfere with your daily routine. These conditions often affect your posture, balance, and mobility.
Our team offers treatments for a variety of foot conditions, including custom orthotics, physical therapy, and specialized procedures to address the underlying causes of foot pain.
Injuries
Whether you’ve suffered a sprain, strain, or another type of injury, we offer comprehensive care to help you heal and regain mobility. From sports injuries to fractures, we provide treatment tailored to your specific injury.
Skin Conditions
Skin conditions on the feet and ankles, including athlete’s foot, calluses, and warts, can lead to considerable discomfort and impact your overall well-being. We provide effective solutions for various skin conditions, helping to restore both the health and comfort of your feet.
Foot Care
Foot care is essential for overall health, especially for people with chronic conditions like diabetes or gout. We offer podiatric services such as medical pedicures, wound care, and custom orthotics to help maintain foot health and prevent complications.
Cosmetic Nail Restoration (KeryFlex™)
Our KeryFlex™ Nail Restoration service helps restore the appearance of damaged or fungal nails. KeryFlex creates a natural-looking, durable, and flexible nail over the existing nail, making it an ideal solution for those with damaged nails, fungal infections, or nails affected by trauma.
FAQ
Who's a good candidate for ingrown toenails treatment?
Anyone with ongoing toe pain, swelling, or signs of infection. If you’ve dealt with this more than once or have diabetes, seek care promptly.
How soon will I feel better after the ingrown toenails treatment?
Most people feel relief in 1-2 days. Full healing time depends on the treatment performed but is generally short.
Will the results of the ingrown toenails treatment last?
When the root of the issue is addressed, results can last months or even years. We also help you prevent future problems.
Is there downtime after the ingrown toenails treatment?
Minimal. Most patients return to daily activities within a day. You may experience mild drainage or tenderness, but this typically resolves quickly.
What should I do before and after the ingrown toenails treatment?
