If you've been struggling with the discomfort of ingrown toenails, there's good news you don’t need surgery to find relief. At Foot HQ Podiatry in Miranda, we now offer light-cured nail bracing, a modern, non-invasive treatment that corrects nail growth gently and effectively.
What Causes Ingrown Toenails?
-
Improper nail trimming – cutting too short or rounding the corners
-
Tight-fitting footwear – puts excess pressure on the toenails
-
Nail injuries or repeated trauma – such as stubbing your toe
-
Genetic nail shape – naturally curved nails are more prone
-
Fungal infections – cause thickened or distorted nails
-
Poor hygiene or excessive sweating – increases infection risk
Treatment Options
-
Light-cured composite nail bracing – A thin resin strip is applied and set with UV light to gently lift the nail edges
-
No needles or cutting – Ideal for children, diabetics, and those seeking a gentle solution
-
Walk-in, walk-out comfort – No downtime or bandages required
-
Ongoing care and monitoring – Ensures healthy regrowth and long-term results
-
Professional foot care – Including podiatry-grade hygiene and fungal assessment if needed
This method is safe, effective, and recommended by podiatrists for both early and chronic cases of ingrown toenails.
Prevention Tips
Cut toenails straight across, wear shoes with plenty of toe room, and keep feet dry and clean to help prevent recurrence.
