Toenail Treatments

At Port Stephens Podiatry we can employ a range of treatment approaches to effectively manage Toenails problems. Here are some examples of how our podiatrists may help you treat this condition:

Ingrown Toenails

For ingrown toenails, our podiatrists recommend gentle nail lifting to relieve the pressure and discomfort. In some cases, we may perform a partial nail avulsion to remove the ingrown portion. For severe or recurring cases, a surgical procedure called a total nail avulsion may be recommended.

Fungal Nail Infections

Our podiatrists offer comprehensive treatment options for fungal nail infections. This may include prescribing antifungal medications, both topical and oral, to eliminate the infection. We may also recommend laser therapy to target and destroy fungal organisms. Additionally, nail debridement can help remove the infected nail and promote healthy nail growth.

Thickened or Overgrown Nails

To address thickened or overgrown nails, our podiatrists provide professional nail trimming and shaping services. This helps alleviate discomfort, prevent ingrown nails, and promote proper nail hygiene. We may also offer advice on proper foot care and footwear choices to prevent further nail-related issues.

Immobilization

In rare instances when conservative measures fail to provide relief, our experienced podiatrists may suggest immobilizing the foot using a cast or walking boot. Immobilization allows for proper healing and rest for the sesamoid bones.

By combining these treatment approaches, Port Stephens Podiatry’s team can effectively manage Toenail problems, reduce pain, promote healing, and help our patients regain their mobility and quality of life.
