If you’ve ever been unlucky enough to stand on an upturned plug or stub your toe, you’ll know just how painful your feet can be. This is especially the case if you experience an infection or injury in a toe nail. Problems such as this usually require nail surgery, and if you need nail surgery in London, then the best place to go for it is the Footloose Chiropody clinic in London.
In the past, the idea of undergoing any kind of surgery at a clinic rather than a hospital would have been fairly frightening for a lot of people but the nail surgery we offer in London simply couldn’t be safer. Our clinic is a clean, state of the art facility equipped with latest in modern technology and run by staff who have the experience, training and commitment to ensure that anyone who visits will be completely satisfied with the treatment they receive. The treatments in question range from the removal of verucaes and callouses to the manufacture of specialised orthotics and insets aimed at correcting long term problems such as flat feel and aching legs cause by poor posture. Our podiatrist, Hilal Patel, has over a decade’s worth of experience working in both NHS and private clinics and has devoted himself to staying at the cutting edge of treatment, which means that whatever condition a patient presents with, they can be certain it will be treated to the highest possible standard. As soon as you arrive at Footloose foot clinic you’ll realise you’re in the safest possible hands. The surroundings are clean, calm and relaxing and the staff will give you a welcome which will put you at your ease and in a relaxed state guaranteed to ease the treatment itself. Nail Surgery is usually required in the case of an ingrowing toe nail , a painful condition which occurs when the sharp edge of the nail cuts in to the sensitive skin at the edge of the toe causing pain, swelling and, if left untreated, infection. Nail surgery at our clinic in London is a quick and simple procedure, often taking now more than forty five minutes. In the first instance our surgeon will numb the nail in question using a local anaesthetic and then remove it. Removal will be followed by the careful application of a chemical which will prevent the nail in question from growing back. Once the surgery is complete the toe will be dressed and the patient given another appointment to attend in three days to have the dressing changed. Following this, the patient can change the dressing at home for a period of between 2 and 10 weeks, by which time the toe will have healed completely. As stated previously, the whole procedure should take less than forty five minutes, meaning that relief from a painful and debilitating condition can be sought in less time that it takes to pop out of the office and grab a sandwich. Many people simply cope with painful feet, seeing it as a normal part of life and something that just has to be dealt with. In the case of infected or ingrowing toe nails this is particularly mistaken, since an untreated nail can become infected and, in the most serious cases, lead to an abscess requiring more difficult surgery. A visit to Footloose chiropody clinic at the first sign of trouble will ensure that it is dealt with quickly, easily and effectively.
