✨ Ingrown Toenails? Onyfix® May Be Right for You! ✨

Many people live with recurring ingrown or curved toenails because they assume surgery is their only option. At The Foot Nurse, we offer Onyfix®, a non-invasive nail correction system designed to guide the nail as it grows, helping reduce pressure and discomfort over time.

Unlike traditional nail braces, Onyfix® is applied directly to the nail and works with the body's natural nail growth. Most clients can continue their normal daily activities, including walking, exercising, and swimming, while undergoing treatment.

📚 What Does the Research Say?
A multicenter clinical observation evaluating a composite nail correction system like Onyfix® found that ingrown and involuted toenails were guided back toward a more natural shape through normal nail growth, with treatment being described as painless and inflammation-free during the observation period.

Conservative nail bracing and nail correction systems are used worldwide as non-surgical options for managing ingrown and curved nails. Surgical intervention may still be appropriate in some cases, particularly for severe or recurring conditions.

👣 Onyfix may be appropriate for:
• Curved or involuted toenails
• Mild to moderate ingrown toenails
• Individuals looking to avoid surgery when appropriate
• Those seeking a gentle, non-invasive approach

Every foot and every nail is different. During your appointment, we'll assess whether Onyfix® is a suitable option for your specific situation and refer to a podiatrist when needed.

Summer sun is here, and with it is an increased risk of skin cancer! ☀️

While we’re all about enjoying the warm weather, it’s also the perfect time to remind ourselves that skin cancer doesn’t just show up where the sun shines. It can hide in places you’d never expect, like between your toes.

While it’s less common, melanomas and other skin cancers in this area can go unnoticed, which means they’re often caught later when treatment is more difficult.

‼️ Here’s why it’s important to check:

Melanoma (the most serious type of skin cancer) can appear anywhere on the body, including the soles of your feet and even between your toes. It’s not just about sun exposure; this type can develop in areas with little to no sunlight.

Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is a type of melanoma that often shows up on the palms, soles, and between the toes. It’s more common in people with darker skin tones but can affect anyone.

Early detection saves lives!

Because these spots are often overlooked, foot melanomas are sometimes diagnosed at later stages, making them harder to treat.

What should you look for?
🔴 A new mole, dark spot, or patch of skin that looks different.
🔴 A sore that doesn’t heal.
🔴 Changes in an existing mole or spot.

Don’t ignore the signs! Check your feet regularly. If you notice anything unusual, see a dermatologist or podiatrist right away. The sooner it’s caught, the better the outcome. Our nurses perform thorough foot assessments during each visit, which can help ensure any suspicious moles are detected.

Book your visit with us today, and let us help you step comfortably this summer!

🏓 Pickleball season is here, and your feet are doing more work than you think!

Whether you’re playing competitively or just enjoying a casual game with friends, pickleball’s quick pivots, sudden stops, and lateral movement can put extra stress on your feet, toes, ankles, and nails.

The good news? A few simple habits can help prevent common injuries and keep you on the court all summer long. ☀️

👟 Pickleball Foot Care Tips:
• Wear supportive court shoes with good stability
• Replace worn-out shoes before they lose cushioning
• Trim toenails straight across to help prevent painful ingrown nails
• Choose moisture-wicking socks to reduce friction and blisters
• Stretch calves and feet before and after playing
• Don’t ignore foot pain! Discomfort is often an early warning sign

Common pickleball-related concerns we see:
✔️ Blisters
✔️ Thickened or damaged toenails
✔️ Heel pain
✔️ Ingrown toenails
✔️ Calluses and corns
✔️ Foot fatigue and soreness

At The Foot Nurse, we help clients maintain healthy feet so they can stay active and keep doing what they love. 🤗💜
