Say Goodbye to Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails can be painful and frustrating and even lead to infections if left untreated. This common condition occurs when the edge of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing redness, swelling, and discomfort. If you’re struggling with an ingrown toenail, professional treatment can provide long-term relief.
Causes and Symptoms
Ingrown toenails often result from improper nail trimming, tight footwear, or genetic predisposition. Common symptoms include tenderness along the nail edge, inflammation, and, in severe cases, infection with pus or drainage. While mild cases may improve with warm saltwater soaks and proper nail care, persistent or painful ingrown toenails require professional attention.

Partial Nail Avulsion: A Trusted Treatment Option
At Werkman, Boven & Associates Foot Clinic, we offer Partial Nail Avulsion (PNA)—a highly effective treatment for chronic or severe ingrown toenails. This minor procedure involves removing a small portion of the affected nail to prevent it from growing into the skin.
During the procedure:
✔ The toe is numbed with a local anesthetic for a pain-free experience.
✔ The ingrown section of the nail is carefully removed.
✔ A chemical may be applied to prevent regrowth and future problems.
PNA offers fast recovery, minimal discomfort, and long-term relief, allowing you to walk out of our clinic with a healthier, pain-free toe.
