• Ingrown Toenails
  Ingrown toenails happen when the edges of the nail plate penetrate and grow into the soft tissue of the toe. When the skin is broken, it may cause pain, swelling, redness, and infection if bacterial invasion develops. Many people simply try to cut the nail margin themselves, only to have the problem reoccur a few weeks later. Treatment from a trained professional becomes necessary if the pain persists, if the problem keeps coming back, or if you’re a diabetes patient.

  HyperBlue is a high-watt laser that penetrates the nail in microsecond bursts to kill the fungus that causes rough and discolored nails.

  Sesamoiditis is when the sesamoid bones, found in and around joints in the foot such as the big toes, become irritated and inflamed. Generally it is a type of tendonitis which causes pain in the forefoot or other places sesamoid bones appear. Due to the inflammatory condition of sesamoiditis, treatment is often geared towards reducing inflammation in typically non-surgical methods such as ice, resting, medications, cortisone injections, and physical therapy. For fractures, more extensive treatment may be called for.

  Toenail fungus, or onychomycosis, is not always easy to treat. One of the most common ways to treat nail fungus is with oral medications, but these can cause a variety on unwanted side effects.

• Hammertoes
  Hammertoes are deformities that cause contracture (bending) of the joints in the toes. This abnormal bent shape can be either flexible or rigid, meaning a rigid hammertoe cannot be straightened through manipulation. Over time, flexible deformities often get worse and become stiff and immobile, which is why hammertoes should receive early attention. Treatment is either preventative or curative in nature, with some cases that might require surgery.
