Common Toenail Problems & Our Treatment Approaches
Toenail Fungus & Ingrown Toenails
At Westchester Podiatric Medicine - Nerve & Wound Center Institute specializes in treating fungal toenails (onychomycosis), ingrown toenails, thickened nails, discolored nails, and painful nail deformities. These conditions can worsen over time, leading to pain, infection, and difficulty walking if not properly treated.
Our approach includes advanced podiatric nail care and minimally invasive nail treatment options, combining conservative care with modern technology to restore nail health and reduce recurrence. Ingrown toenails are treated with precise in-office care, including safe trimming, partial nail removal when needed, and preventive guidance to reduce recurrence.
PinPointe™ Laser Therapy For Fungal Nails
For fungal toenails, we offer PinPointe™ laser therapy, a non-invasive treatment that targets fungus within the nail bed using focused laser energy. This helps improve nail clarity and supports healthier regrowth without damaging surrounding tissue.
Early treatment is especially important for patients with diabetes or circulation issues, where nail infections can progress more quickly.
