Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails can be painful and persistent, but we can provide gentle, expert treatment to fix your problem toenails and prevent the problem from reoccurring. Your toenail may have just started to dig in, or maybe there is already redness, swelling or even signs of infection, but our experienced podiatrists are here to help right now. You might just require simple nail care or minor nail surgery, so don’t hesitate to get in touch and have all your foot problems treated.
When do you need to see a chiropodist?
Get in touch right away of you have any concerns at all. We strongly recommend coming in for a consultation if:
• Your toe is painful, red or swollen
• There is any discharge or signs of infection
• It’s painful to walk or wear shoes
• You’ve had a similar problem before
• You have diabetes or poor circulation
Even if it seems like a minor problem now, it’s best to come in and have it fixed before the problem gets any worse. If it is left untreated it can become very painful and cause serious complications.
What to expect during your visit
When you come in for your first appointment at one of our family-run clinics, one of our friendly, expert chiropodists will assess your problem and the surrounding area. Then, for most patients a conservative treatment is all that is needed. A conservative nail treatment will involve careful nail trimming, shaping and clearing the area of debris. There is usually no need for any anaesthetic.
If you are suffering a lot of pain from your ingrown toenail, or you are anxious about the procedure, you might want a local anaesthetic which can be applied with a quick injection, or sometimes a topical anaesthetic spray is all that’s needed, and injections can be completely avoided.
Our treatments can permanently fix your ingrown toenail problems quickly and you’ll be able to walk out of the clinic on the same day. People are usually fully healed within two weeks and after care is included in the price of the treatment.
When you’re ready to fix your painful ingrown nail problem, get in touch so we can arrange a consultation and permanently fix those problematic ingrown nails.
