Ingrown Toenail Care
Pain-free solutions including ortho-nail brace (orthonyxia) applications.
An ingrown toenail is a common condition where the nail digs into surrounding tissue, causing pain and infection. Most cases are resolved without surgery using orthonyxia braces, tamponade and packing techniques.
In the clinic, the nail brace gently guides the nail to grow in the right direction; pain drops quickly during the application and daily life continues almost uninterrupted.
