Expert Distracted Nail Treatment At Harley Medical Foot and Nail Clinic
A distracted nail occurs when the nail plate separates from the nail bed, often due to trauma, fungal infection, or prolonged pressure from footwear. This condition can cause discomfort, discoloration, and increase the risk of infection if left untreated.
At Harley Medical Foot and Nail Clinic, we begin by assessing the cause and severity of the nail distraction. Treatment aims to relieve pain, prevent infection, and support healthy nail regrowth. Depending on your condition, care may include gentle nail reduction, thorough cleaning and debridement, and the use of protective dressings. We also provide expert guidance on nail hygiene and footwear to avoid further irritation.
For more advanced or persistent cases, therapies such as Lunula Laser or K-Laser may be recommended to promote healing and restore the nail’s natural appearance. Our podiatrists ensure each patient receives a tailored treatment plan designed for comfort, recovery, and long-term nail health.
