"I'd been suffering with an ingrown toenail for years and wish I'd had the procedure sooner. The team explained everything clearly, the treatment was far easier than I expected, and the aftercare was excellent. My toe healed really well, and I can finally walk without pain. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Green Podiatry."

Find the cause before choosing the right treatment

Not every painful toenail requires surgery. During your assessment, one of our experienced podiatrists will examine your nail, discuss your symptoms and determine what’s causing the problem.

Many ingrown toenails can be successfully managed with routine podiatry treatment and advice on footwear and nail care. However, if the problem is severe, repeatedly becomes infected or continues to return, nail surgery may offer the best long-term solution.

We’ll talk you through all of your options, explain exactly what the procedure involves and ensure you’re happy before any treatment is planned.

A simple procedure with long-lasting results

Nail surgery is a minor procedure carried out under local anaesthetic, so your toe will be completely numb throughout the treatment.

Depending on your condition, we may remove a small section of the nail, both sides, or occasionally the whole nail. Where appropriate, a solution called phenol is carefully applied to the nail matrix to prevent the troublesome part of the nail from growing back and causing future problems.

The procedure usually takes around an hour. Afterwards, we’ll provide clear aftercare advice and arrange follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and answer any questions along the way.

Most people are able to return to normal daily activities within a couple of days, although complete healing typically takes between six and eight weeks.

Get back to living without nail pain

Living with an ingrown toenail can affect your work, exercise and everyday life. Nail surgery offers a permanent solution, allowing you to walk comfortably without the worry of recurring pain or infection.

From your initial consultation through to your recovery, our experienced team will support you throughout the process, ensuring you receive expert care and confidence in your treatment.

If you’ve been putting off treatment because you’re worried about the procedure, we’re here to make the experience as straightforward and comfortable as possible.
