Ignoring early signs of discomfort can result in long-term health issues. Understanding what causes this pain, and how to treat it, is the first step toward feeling better.
Toenail Bracing has made groundbreaking developments in the past decade, and is now a great treatment for ingrown toenails.

Toenail pain is a common complaint, especially amongst runners, athletes, and those spending many hours on their feet. While it might seem like a minor issue, it can sometimes point to something more serious. A common finding is “runner’s toenails,” which can be a sign of pride for many, but a source of pain for others. Several conditions can be caught under this umbrella term, such as yellow toenails, black toenails, ingrown nails, infection, and overall pain.
