Jan 27, 2024

Introduction

Welcome to The Foot Practice, your go-to expert podiatrists in the field of foot care. We specialize in various foot conditions, including the effective treatment of ingrown nails. With our experience, knowledge, and state-of-the-art facilities, we are committed to providing top-notch podiatric services to our patients.

Understanding Ingrown Nails

An ingrown nail, also known as onychocryptosis, occurs when a toenail grows into the surrounding skin instead of over it. It commonly affects the big toe and can be incredibly painful. Ingrown nails often result from improper nail trimming, tight-fitting shoes, trauma, or inherited nail shape. If left untreated, they can lead to infection and further complications.

Professional Podiatric Care for Ingrown Nails

At The Foot Practice, our podiatrists are highly skilled in diagnosing and treating ingrown nails. We understand the discomfort and frustration that ingrown nails can cause, which is why we provide individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs.

Detailed Assessment and Diagnosis

Our expert podiatrists will conduct a thorough examination of your ingrown nail, considering factors such as the severity of the condition, any underlying causes, and the potential for infection. We will take the time to listen to your concerns and answer any questions you may have.

Conservative Treatment Options

In many cases, conservative treatments can effectively resolve ingrown nails. These may include:

  • Proper Nail Trimming: Our podiatrists will demonstrate the correct technique for nail trimming to prevent future ingrown nails.
  • Warm Soaks: Soaking your feet in warm water helps reduce swelling and tenderness.
  • Pain Relief: Our podiatrists may prescribe medications or provide injections to alleviate pain and discomfort.
  • Cotton Wedging: Placing a small piece of cotton under the ingrown edge helps the nail grow above the skin.
  • Orthotic Devices: Custom orthotics can provide support and relieve pressure on the affected area.

Advanced Treatment Techniques

If conservative treatments do not provide the desired results, our skilled podiatrists may recommend more advanced procedures, such as:

  • Partial Nail Removal: In severe cases, a portion of the ingrown nail may need to be removed to alleviate pain and prevent recurrence.
  • Nail Avulsion: Complete removal of the affected toenail may be required for chronic and recurrent ingrown nails.
