How to Treat an Ingrown Toenail Without Surgery

To Request an appointment with Dr. Schneider: http://referdrschneider.com I've found that, no matter what the age of my patient is, people are afraid of getting an ingrown toenail treated. My name is Dr. Andrew Schneider, and I'm a podiatrist in Houston, TX. Typically the only treatment for an ingrown toenail treated is with an in-office surgery. That's changed with the introduction of a new non-invasive procedure that will change how ingrown toenails are treated. If you've ever had an ingrown toenail, you know how painful it is. Just wearing a close shoe can provide pain to the point where you just have to take them off to get relief. But you put up with discomfort because you don't wanna go through the pain of having your toe numbed and treat the ingrown toenail. surgically. I'm happy to introduce a new, non-invasive nail correction system that is pain free and easily applied in the office. The Onyfix nail correction system is effective in treating ingrown toenails, involuted nails, pincer nails, and split nails. The principle behind Onyfix is pretty simple. The nail is wide as at its base. For some people, the nail is too wide for the nail bed, which causes the nail to curve as it grows. That developed into an ingrown toenail. Applying Onyfix, provides the nail support as it grows to prevent it from curving and becoming an ingrown toenail. Onyfix is a composite that is placed the base of the toenail. It does not cause any pain to apply. First, I'll buff, your nail to make it easier for the composite to adhere to the nail. The composite supports the nail as it grows. In cases where you're having some acute pain from the ingrown toenail, we may apply another strip or half strip of the composite about 2/3 of the way down the nail. That gives the nail some lift and helps with the pain. An ultraviolet light is then used to harden the composite to provide strength to support the nail. Let's talk about an ingrown toenail that's infected. In this case, a procedure will still need to be done to resolve the infection at our postop visit, however, applying the Onyfix compound will help the nail grow out without becoming and ingrown. This will help prevent future problems within ingrown toenails. Here's the best thing. There is no downtime after the Onyfix is applied to your nail. You can immediately resume all activities. There are no contraindications for this system. So it can be used if you're diabetic. It can be used If you're pregnant. It can be used in young children. You can polish your toenails after the Onyfix is applied, but you can only use regular nail polish. No gels, or shellac polishes. They are just too adherent. And when these polishes are taken off, the composite will come off with it. After the Onyfix nail correction system is applied to your toenail, we will follow up an approximately six weeks. At that time, we may apply an additional application to the composite to keep the nail on the right track. We're so excited to be able to introduce this treatment to our patients. I know it's going to provide comfort to those suffering with persistent and ingrown toenails and very curved painful toenails.
