Ingrown toenails are a common and painful foot problem that can make walking, wearing shoes, and everyday activities uncomfortable. Many patients avoid treatment because they worry about surgery, needles, or long recovery times.
At Stride Forward Podiatry, we offer Onyfix®, a modern, non-invasive treatment for ingrown toenails. Under the expert care of Dr. Martha Holzworth, Onyfix provides a gentle, effective solution—without surgery or downtime.
What Is Onyfix®?
Onyfix® is an innovative, non-surgical treatment designed to correct the way a toenail grows. Instead of cutting or removing part of the nail, Onyfix uses a small, medical-grade brace that is applied directly to the surface of the nail.
This brace gently guides the nail as it grows, helping it return to a natural, healthy shape. Over time, pressure on the surrounding skin is reduced, relieving pain and preventing the nail from growing inward again.
What Causes Ingrown Toenails?
Ingrown toenails occur when the edge of the nail grows into the surrounding skin. Common causes include:
- Improper nail trimming
- Wearing tight or narrow shoes
- Repeated pressure on the toes
- Nail injuries or trauma
- Genetics or naturally curved nails
Without proper treatment, ingrown toenails can worsen and lead to swelling, redness, infection, and ongoing discomfort.
Why Choose Onyfix® for Ingrown Toenail Treatment?
Onyfix is different from traditional ingrown toenail treatments because it focuses on correcting the root cause, not just relieving symptoms.
- Completely Non-Invasive: There is no cutting, no needles, and no anesthesia involved.
- Painless and Comfortable: The treatment is gentle and well-tolerated by patients of all ages.
- No Downtime or Recovery: Patients can walk out the same day and return to normal activities immediately.
- Long-Term Nail Correction: Onyfix helps retrain nail growth instead of removing part of the nail.
- No Special Aftercare: There are no wounds, bandages, or complicated aftercare instructions.
What to Expect During Onyfix® Treatment
At Stride Forward Podiatry in Boca Raton, Dr. Martha Holzworth will first evaluate your toenail to determine if Onyfix is the right solution for you.
During the visit:
- The nail is cleaned and prepared
- The Onyfix brace is carefully applied to the nail surface
- The brace begins guiding nail growth naturally over time
The procedure is quick, painless, and performed right in our office.
Onyfix® vs. Traditional Ingrown Toenail Surgery
Traditional ingrown toenail surgery often involves removing part of the nail and requires healing time. Onyfix offers a more patient-friendly alternative.
| Onyfix® | Traditional Surgery |
|---|---|
| Non-surgical | Invasive procedure |
| No needles or cutting | Requires anesthesia |
| No downtime | Recovery time needed |
| Minimal discomfort | Post-procedure discomfort |
| Corrects nail growth | Nail portion removed |
Who Is a Good Candidate for Onyfix®?
Onyfix may be a great option if you:
- Have recurring or chronic ingrown toenails
- Want to avoid surgery
- Need a treatment with no downtime
- Have mild to moderate nail curvature
- Are active and want to stay mobile
Patients with diabetes or circulation concerns may also benefit from Onyfix, as it is non-invasive. Dr. Holzworth will determine if Onyfix is appropriate for your condition.
