Nail assessment and tailored care
The assessment considers nail shape, surrounding skin, nail trimming and pressure from footwear. Care is chosen according to the findings and sensitivity. If the problem keeps returning, the podiatrist can assess whether orthonyxia, a small device attached to the nail, may be suitable. It is not appropriate for every case.
What happens at an appointment?
The visit begins with a discussion of your concern. The podiatrist looks at the foot and relevant area and considers footwear and care habits. Recommendations are made after an individual assessment.
