Ingrown Toenail Treatment
At Phoenix Podiatry, we specialize in the treatment of ingrown toenails, providing effective solutions to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. Ingrown toenails occur when the edges of the nails grow into the surrounding skin, leading to discomfort, swelling, and potential infection. Our experienced podiatrists are here to address your ingrown toenail concerns and help you find relief.
Reduce Pain from Ingrown Toenails with these Treatments
Our ingrown toenail treatment options include:
Professional Evaluation: During your visit, our podiatrists will carefully examine your ingrown toenail and assess the severity of the condition. We will evaluate the level of inflammation, presence of infection, and any underlying factors contributing to the ingrown toenail.
Pain Relief and Inflammation Reduction: We will provide immediate pain relief by carefully trimming the ingrown nail and reducing any accompanying inflammation. Our podiatrists employ gentle techniques to alleviate discomfort and promote healing.
Nail and Tissue Management: In cases where conservative treatments are not sufficient, we may recommend a partial or complete nail avulsion procedure. This procedure involves removing a portion or the entire ingrown toenail under local anaesthesia to allow proper healing and prevent recurrence.
Wound Care and Infection Prevention: If there is an infection present, we will clean the affected area and provide appropriate wound care instructions to promote healing and prevent further complications. We may recommend antibiotics if necessary.
Education and Preventive Measures: Our podiatrists will educate you on proper toenail trimming techniques and provide guidance on footwear choices to prevent future ingrown toenails. We will address any underlying factors, such as nail shape or foot structure, and provide recommendations to minimize the risk of recurrence.
Follow-Up Care: We will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure the successful healing of your ingrown toenail. Our podiatrists will provide any necessary additional treatments or adjustments to your care plan as needed.
At Phoenix Podiatry, we are dedicated to providing individualized care for ingrown toenails. Our goal is to alleviate your pain, address the underlying causes, and help you maintain healthy, comfortable feet.
