Treating Fungal Nail Infections at The Foot Practice
Introduction to Fungal Nail Infections
Fungal nail infections, also known as onychomycosis, are a common condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender. This condition occurs when fungi enter the nails, causing them to become discolored, brittle, and thickened. If left untreated, fungal nail infections can spread to other toenails or even the skin.

Treating Fungal Nail Infections
At The Foot Practice, we understand the discomfort and embarrassment caused by fungal nail infections. Our primary goal is to help you regain healthy and beautiful nails. Our treatment approach is tailored to each individual, taking into consideration the severity of the infection, medical history, and lifestyle factors.
1. Initial Assessment and Diagnosis
The first step in treating fungal nail infections is a thorough assessment and accurate diagnosis. Our experienced podiatrists will carefully examine your nails, looking for signs of infection such as discoloration, thickening, and changes in texture. By identifying the specific type and severity of the infection, we can determine the most effective treatment plan.
2. Topical Antifungal Medications
In mild to moderate cases of fungal nail infections, topical antifungal medications may be prescribed. These medications are applied directly to the affected nails, penetrating the nail plate and targeting the underlying fungal infection. The Foot Practice utilizes the latest advancements in antifungal treatments to ensure optimal results.
3. Oral Antifungal Therapy
For more severe or persistent fungal nail infections, oral antifungal therapy may be recommended. These medications are taken orally and work systemically to eliminate the fungal infection from within. The Foot Practice will carefully assess your medical history and any potential interactions with other medications before prescribing oral antifungal therapy.
4. Laser Treatment
As part of our commitment to providing advanced foot care solutions, The Foot Practice offers laser treatment for fungal nail infections. This non-invasive procedure delivers targeted laser energy to the infected nail, effectively destroying the underlying fungi. Laser treatment offers a safe and efficient method for achieving significant improvement in nail appearance and overall health.
5. Preventive Measures and Education
In addition to treating fungal nail infections, The Foot Practice emphasizes the importance of preventive measures and patient education. Our podiatrists will provide you with practical tips on maintaining proper foot hygiene, avoiding potential sources of reinfection, and promoting overall nail health. By practicing good foot care habits, you can reduce the risk of future fungal nail infections.
