What is Nail Surgery?

We offer nail surgery in Birmingham to solve a wide range of nail conditions. Nail surgery is a surgical procedure which we carry out under local anaesthesia to cure ingrowing toenails. Our Podiatrists are all trained in nail surgery and our experience gives us fantastic results to cure this painful problem which can affect many poeple. The use of a local anaesthetic ensures no pain is experienced during the procedure and we normally use a chemical to stop the nail we have removed growing back again. This way we can cure the problem and prevent it re-occuring. We can either remove part of the nail or all of it. In-growing Toenails can be very painful and can stop us being able to enjoy life to the full by preventing us being able to do sports or other activites, even walking can be very painful. Often the in-growing toenail will become infected requiring antibiotics to clear the infection up. These will often help by clearing the infection however if the ingrowing toenail hasnt been treated the issue often just re-occurs.
