Partial or Total Nail Avulsion Surgery for Ingrown Toenails
Nail avulsion surgeries offer a long-term solution to the discomfort and pain caused by ingrown toenails. These conditions can result from hereditary factors, trauma, fungal infections, or other underlying issues.
Partial Nail Avulsion (PNA): In a PNA procedure, your Registered Chiropodist will:
- Administer a local anesthetic to numb the affected toe.
- Remove the problematic side of the nail.
- Apply a chemical to prevent the issue from recurring.
- Bandage the area for protection.
After the procedure, you’ll receive simple at-home care instructions and be scheduled for a follow-up visit the next week to monitor proper healing.
Real Patient Results
Total Nail Avulsion (TNA): A TNA follows the same steps as a PNA, with the key difference being that the entire nail is removed.

Falknor’s Needling Procedure for Plantar Warts
Real Patient Results
Falknor’s Needling is a highly effective alternative treatment for stubborn verrucae, also known as plantar warts. By stimulating the body’s immune system to recognize and combat the virus, this procedure creates a controlled inflammatory response that helps eliminate the infection.
This immune response is often systemic, meaning it can affect the entire body. Therefore, treating just one wart or a small cluster of verrucae is usually sufficient. During your appointment, your Registered Chiropodist will:
- Administer a local anesthetic to numb the area around the lesion.
- Repeatedly puncture the lesion to push the virus deeper into the tissue.
- Clean and bandage the area.
You’ll receive easy-to-follow at-home care instructions and be scheduled for a follow-up appointment the following week to monitor your healing progress.
