Ingrown Toenail Treatment

Ingrown toenails are a common problem that can be extremely uncomfortable, but they do not need to be a lingering problem!

What are ingrown toenails?

An ingrown nail is the result of a nail growing into the skin that surrounds it. This often occurs at either edge of the big toe. Ingrown nails may be caused by improper trimming, inherited nail deformities, injuries, fungal infections, or pressure.


What do we do?

While many people have various home treatments for ingrown toenails they do not always prove to be effective.  Our simple 5 minute procedure will permanently fix your ingrown toenail and leave
you free of discomfort and unsightly toe issues.  Call today for an appointment at (724)-375-1577.

Do you suffer from heel pain, Morton's Neuroma, Plantar Fasciitis, Diabetic Neuropathy or Fibromas?

Do you suffer from heel pain, Morton's Neuroma, Plantar Fasciitis, Diabetic Neuropathy or Fibromas?  Cryosurgery can help with all of these! It's a six minute office procedure with a high success rate allowing you to walk out of the office ,shower the next day and not miss any work! How it works is by having the ice form around the actual nerve itself, the outer layers of the nerve sheath degenerates and, in doing so, decreases the nerve’s abilities to transmit the signal of pain. Over the course of the next couple of months, the nerve sheath regenerates again and in most cases regenerates without the inflammation and you are pain free. This unique therapy has been showing promising results in treating other conditions such as Tarsal Tunnel pain, Tendonitis and may even be helpful in cases of Arthritis and Diabetic Neuropathy. Call 724-375-1577 for an appointment.

Are you suffering from Chronic Plantar Fasciitis? Then come on in to the Beaver Valley Foot Clinic for Extracorporeal Shock wave Therapy. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy, or ESWT, is a treatment option for patients with chronic plantar fasciitis. ESWT delivers focused shock waves to the heel inducing microtrauma to the tissue that is affected by plantar fasciitis and initiating a healing response by the body. The Healing response causes blood vessel formation and increased delivery of nutrients to the affected heel thereby stimulating the repair process and relieving the symptoms of plantar fasciitis.

Benefits of ESWT

  • Risks of surgery eliminated
  • A proven pain relief procedure
  • Patients can walk immediately
  • 30-minute in-office procedure
  • No time off work
  • No pain medication
