An ingrown toenail (onychocryptosis) occurs when the edge of a toenail grows into the surrounding skin, causing pain, redness and sometimes infection. The big toe is the most commonly affected.
The causes are varied: incorrect nail cutting (too short, too rounded), tight-fitting shoes, excessive perspiration, genetic predisposition or trauma. Without treatment, an ingrown toenail can worsen and may require surgical intervention.
The following signs should alert you and prompt you to seek treatment promptly:
Thorough examination of the nail to evaluate the stage of ingrowth and detect any potential infection.
Delicate removal of the ingrown nail spicule, cleaning of the area and possible fitting of an orthonyxic brace (corrective clip).
Cutting advice, footwear recommendations and regular follow-up to prevent recurrence.
An untreated ingrown toenail can progress to a serious infection, particularly in diabetic or immunocompromised patients. The earlier the treatment, the simpler and faster it is.
Our team treats all stages: from the early onset of ingrowth to more advanced cases requiring orthonyxic correction. If in doubt, do not hesitate to consult us promptly.

The CNS does not reimburse medical pedicure care. However, some mutual insurers may cover it. Please check with yours.
The treatment is carried out with great care. The area may be sensitive, but most patients experience immediate relief once the spicule is removed. The benefit far outweighs any momentary discomfort.
Orthonyxia is a technique that involves fitting a brace or corrective wire onto the nail to gradually modify its curvature and prevent it from becoming ingrown again. It is painless and highly effective for recurrent cases.
For a straightforward case, one to two sessions are sufficient. If an orthonyxic brace is fitted, follow-up over several months is required (on average 3 to 6 appointments) to support the gradual correction of the nail.
Cut your nails straight across (not rounded), not too short, wear shoes with a wide toe box, and maintain good foot hygiene. If you are prone to this condition, consult a medical pedicurist regularly.
