At Dr7 Physiotherapy & Podiatry in Yokine, our experienced podiatrists perform nail surgery to treat painful or infected ingrown toenails quickly and effectively.
We provide a safe, sterile, and minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve pain and prevent the problem from returning.
Nail surgery is often recommended when conservative treatments — like nail trimming, soaking, or antibiotics — fail to resolve recurring or severe toenail pain.
Common reasons for surgery include:
Repeated or chronic ingrown toenails
Nail infections or abscesses
Curved or thickened toenails
Nail deformities due to trauma or fungus
Pain that interferes with walking or footwear
Our podiatrists will assess your condition and discuss whether nail surgery is the best solution for you.
At Dr7 Physiotherapy & Podiatry, we perform nail surgery using local anaesthetic for a painless experience.
Assessment & Consultation – We examine your toenail and determine the best surgical option.
Local Anaesthetic Injection – The toe is numbed completely to ensure no discomfort.
Partial or Total Nail Removal – The problematic nail edge or the full nail is gently removed.
Phenol Application (Optional) – A medical solution applied to prevent regrowth and recurrence.
Post-Operative Care – The toe is dressed, and detailed aftercare instructions are provided.
Most patients can walk immediately after the procedure and return to work the same or next day.
Keep the toe clean and dry for the first 24 hours.
Change dressings as advised by your podiatrist.
Avoid tight footwear until the area has healed.
A review appointment will ensure proper healing and monitor any regrowth.
Healing usually takes 2–4 weeks, depending on the type of surgery and your individual recovery.
