Are you struggling with the pain and discomfort of ingrown toenails? At Stride we specialize in effective, safe, and professional nail surgery which can provide a permanent solution to your ongoing pain.
If you think you might be suffering from an ingrown toenail, feel free to use our free online assessment tool. One of our podiatrists will assess your details and we'll get back to you with their advice.
Common causes include improper nail trimming, tight footwear, and genetic predisposition. If left untreated, ingrown toenails can lead to more severe complications.
An ingrown toenail occurs when the edge of the toenail grows into the surrounding skin, leading to pain, swelling, and sometimes infection.
At Stride our experienced podiatrists offer a comprehensive nail surgery service designed to address even the most stubborn ingrown toenails. Here’s what you can expect:
1. Thorough Assessment
Our process begins with a detailed assessment of your condition. We'll examine your toenail and surrounding skin to determine the severity of the ingrown nail and any associated infection.
2. Expert Consultation
We’ll discuss your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors that may contribute to your ingrown toenails. Our podiatrists will explain the procedure in detail, ensuring you understand every step and feel comfortable with the treatment plan.
3. Advanced Surgical Techniques
Using advanced surgical techniques, we perform a minor procedure under local anesthesia to remove the problematic part of the nail. This method is highly effective in providing long-term relief and preventing recurrence.
4. Post-Surgery Care
After the procedure, we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent infection. Our team will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery and ensure optimal results.
5. Preventative Advice
To help prevent future ingrown toenails, we offer personalized advice on proper nail care, footwear choices, and other preventive measures tailored to your individual needs.
