General Toenail Maintenance
What Is General Toenail Maintenance?
General toenail maintenance involves the regular care and upkeep of toenails to keep them healthy, clean, and free of issues like ingrowing nails, thickened nails, fungal infections, or discomfort.Proper nail care is especially important for individuals with reduced mobility, vision issues, or medical conditions like diabetes, which can increase the risk of complications.
How Can Regular Toenail Maintenance Help?
Nail Trimming & Shaping
The nails will be trimmed and filed to a healthy finish and we’ll use specialised tools to ensure nails are trimmed safely, even in challenging cases, such as very thick or hard nails.
Cleaning & Debridement
We’ll remove debris, dead skin, or buildup from under and around the nails. This process will ensure nails and the surrounding area are clean, which reduces the risk of fungal or bacterial infections.
Treatment of Minor Nail Conditions
Regular toenail maintenance can address early signs of issues as ingrowing toenails, fungal nail infections and split or brittle nails.
Preventative Advice
As always, we will recommend appropriate footwear that doesn’t cause pressure or trauma to the nails. It also might be suggested that you perform daily foot checks at home depending on your specific foot condition.
Management for High-Risk Individuals
For individuals with diabetes, circulatory issues, or other health concerns, our practitioner will provide specialised care to prevent complications like ulcers or infections. Routine checks for signs of reduced blood flow, nerve damage, or nail bed problems are also encouraged.
