Have you been suffering from an ingrown toenail? Let us help! Empire Foot and Ankle Center provides ingrown toenail treatment in Riverside that can help alleviate your pain.

Empire Foot and Ankle Center provides professional care for patients with ingrown toenails. We understand how painful your daily life becomes disrupted by one or many ingrown toenails. That’s where we come in! Our experienced doctors will begin by examining your feet and evaluating the extent of the problem. Once we’ve gathered all the necessary information, we will discuss possible treatment options to provide you relief.

Nail problems are no joke. And one of the most painful and persistent nail conditions is ingrown toe nails. While they can happen to anyone, they’re prevalent in people who wear tight shoes, play sports that involve a lot of footwork (soccer, tennis, and basketball players tend to be at higher risk), or have jobs that require a lot of walking around on hard surfaces.

You might be surprised by how quickly an ingrown nail can develop—even if you start with just minor swelling and redness, it can rapidly become infected if you don’t get treatment fast. When an infection sets in, you’ll see pus or drainage from the wound. But even before you notice these symptoms, there’s a good chance you’ll feel some pain when you walk or even just put pressure on your toe.

At Empire Foot & Ankle Center, we have seen all kinds of complications from untreated ingrown toenails—from minor infections to gangrene (requiring amputation). We want to help you avoid this outcome by providing effective treatment for your ingrown nails. We offer multiple options for treatment and ingrown toenail surgery in Riverside—including surgical removal of the affected nail (if necessary).

• Partial nail avulsion: Our podiatrist will remove part of the affected nail in this procedure.
• Total nail avulsion: For chronic problems with ingrown nails, complete nail removal may be necessary. Your nail will grow back in about a year.
• Antibiotics: If an ingrown toenail is infected, antibiotics may be necessary to clear up the infection.

If you’re tired of dealing with toenails that are constantly growing in, we have the treatment for you. Our staff is highly trained and experienced in handling uncomfortable ingrown toenails, and we can help you get the relief you need.

It’s not exactly your idea of a fun afternoon getting toes fixed, but we’ll make sure you’re as relaxed as possible. We offer a safe, friendly environment staffed by podiatrists dedicated to your comfort. Additionally, there’s no surgery involved—and no hospital stay. So we can help you get your toe fixed without any stress or hassle.
