Prosper Health Group offers corrective toenail surgery as part of our Podiatry services in our Geelong and Colac Podiatry clinics. Our podiatrists are highly skilled in toenail surgery and we get great results.
For such a small area of our body an ingrowing toenail can cause a lot of pain and discomfort. Most commonly affected are the big toes, but it can also occur on smaller toes as well. The main reasons for developing an ingrown nail are incorrect trimming technique, trauma to the nail from footwear or excessive curvature of the nail.
Luckily, there is an extremely effective procedure that has fantastic long term results. In this procedure we gently remove the ingrowing edge of nail, use a chemical to stop regrowth and dress the toe with a sterile bandage. This is all completed in our rooms under a local anaesthetic by our highly skilled team and requires no stitches.
Don’t let an ingrown toenail cause you unnecessary pain! Contact us for an expert assessment and treatment plan. We also treat a range of children’s problems & sports podiatry.
