Ingrown Toenails
Pain, redness, swelling, or drainage along the nail edge can worsen quickly—especially if you’re on your feet all day.
- Examine for infection and nail shape
- Discuss conservative vs. definitive treatment
- Aftercare plan + prevention strategies
- Increasing pain or swelling
- Drainage, pus, or bad odor
- Diabetes, neuropathy, or poor circulation
Fungal Nail Infection
Thick, brittle, yellow, or crumbly nails can be stubborn. A good plan starts with confirming the cause.
- Reduce thickness & discomfort
- Improve appearance over time
- Lower risk of skin breakdown
- Topical therapy (best for mild cases)
- Oral medication (when appropriate)
- Debridement and hygiene guidance
Nails grow slowly. Visible improvement typically takes months. We’ll set realistic expectations and track progress.
Heel Pain
Heel pain can have different causes (plantar fascia strain, tendon irritation, nerve symptoms). We focus on identifying the pattern and fixing the drivers.
- Where the pain starts and what triggers it
- Footwear, standing time, and activity
- Flexibility, strength, and gait
- Stretching & strengthening plan
- Shoe/insert recommendations
- Supportive devices if needed
Warts
Plantar warts can feel like stepping on a pebble. Treatment depends on location, thickness, and how long it has been present.
- Confirm diagnosis (wart vs. callus)
- Discuss home care + in-office options
- Plan for recurrence reduction
- Avoid picking (can spread)
- Keep feet dry; change socks
- Use shower shoes in public areas
Painful Calluses
Calluses form from pressure and friction. The goal is not only to smooth the skin—it's to address *why* the pressure is happening.
Safe reduction and advice on skin care so you can walk comfortably again.
Footwear guidance, padding options, and support strategies to reduce pressure points.
If you have diabetes or neuropathy, calluses can hide skin injury—regular checks and proper footwear matter.
