Nail Surgery

Persistent painful nails can be frustrating and difficult to manage.

There may be a reason you are struggling to manage this such as; incorrect nail trimming techniques, trauma, thickening or nails that are ingrown in nature.

If pain is persistent after conservative management, we can offer nail surgery for a permanent, pain-free solution.

This common procedure is performed in the clinic, using local anesthetic and sterile techniques, to remove the problematic portion of the nail.
