Ingrown Toenails, Complications, and Fixing Things With Onyfix!
An ingrown toenail is just a minor annoyance…until it becomes painful…and then it’s infected. And at that point, you’ve got a far bigger problem on your hands. Or feet.
You get the idea!
Ingrown toenails get worse when folks neglect them, and unfortunately, many do, delaying treatment due to fear of painful procedures. At From the Ground Up Podiatry & Barefoot Medical Spa, we understand these concerns, and we offer an innovative, pain-free solution to address them: the Onyfix Nail Correction System.
Beyond Annoying: The Risks of Neglected Ingrown Toenails
When a toenail edge grows into the skin, it breaks the natural barrier, inviting problems. Ignoring an ingrown toenail can lead to:
- Infection: Increased redness, swelling, warmth, pus (drainage), and throbbing pain.
- Spreading Infection (Cellulitis): Infection moving into the surrounding skin.
- Abscess Formation: A painful pocket of pus forming under the skin.
- Bone Infection (Osteomyelitis): A rare but serious complication if infection reaches the bone.
- Chronic Pain & Difficulty Walking: Impacting daily life and footwear choices.
Crucial Warning for Individuals with Diabetes: Due to potential neuropathy and circulation issues, any break in the skin poses a significantly higher risk of severe complications. Never attempt self-treatment and see a podiatrist immediately!
Introducing Onyfix – The Pain-Free Alternative
The Onyfix Nail Correction System is a completely non-surgical and pain-free method to address ingrown toenails by correcting the nail’s shape over time.
The system acts like a brace for your nail:
- Nail Prep: We prepare the nail surface (no cutting or numbing needed).
- Resin Application: A specialized composite resin is applied as a small band across the nail base.
- Curing: A safe LED light instantly hardens the resin band.
- Gentle Correction: As your nail grows, the hardened Onyfix band gently lifts the curved nail edges, guiding it into a straighter path and preventing it from digging into the skin.
Onyfix is Often the Superior Choice Because It’s…
- Pain-Free: No needles, no cutting, no anesthesia.
- Non-Invasive: Avoids surgery.
- A Zero Downtime Option: Resume normal activities immediately.
- Safe for Everyone: Ideal for kids, people with sensitive feet, and high-risk patients.
- Able to Prevent Recurrence: Addresses the underlying nail curvature.
- Cosmetically Appealing: Nail polish can be applied over the discreet band.
Dealing with an ingrown toenail? Don’t let complications get out of hand…or rather…
