Nail Care and Podiatrists

Your podiatrist can offer many solutions to the nail problems you experience. Perhaps you have a fungal infection. This often manifests itself as a yellow nail, which is often flaky or crumbles. Many of our older patients suffer from hardened, yellowed nails which are quite difficult to cut and can often be painful, especially in association with closed-toed shoes. We are able to treat many conditions which affect the nail, as well as other conditions which affect the foot (like peripheral arterial or vascular disease, diabetes, plantar fasciitis, and bio-mechanical deformities like flat feet, high arches, and toes which turn in or out). The video link below offers a brief overview of what podiatrists offer in nail care options.
