Why does our center’s treatment improve nail thickening so much without cutting?

Why it doesn’t get better elsewhere

Nail thickening very often recurs again even after extraction (nail peeling) by a dermatologist or shaving at a nail salon.

This condition is often incorrectly treated because it looks similar to a hooked nail (onychogryphosis) or nail athlete’s foot (tinea cruris).

Dermatological treatment, salons, and other clinics generally only treat the symptoms and do not take into consideration the prevention of recurrence of the condition. In this case, the treatment is not more than symptomatic therapy. On the contrary, the symptoms may worsen afterwards.

What is important is that

Description of symptoms and causes

Nail thickening (hypertrophic nail) is a deformation of the thickness and shape of the nail due to a variety of causes.

Unlike onychogryphosis, the nail often simply grows thicker than the nail itself is deformed. The thickening also causes the nails to dry out and become whitish overall. As a result, this nail condition is often mistaken for tinea cruris.

Since most cases of this condition are caused by external forces such as repeated friction, we not only perform the treatment but also provide guidance on how to improve daily life to prevent recurrence.

Nail thickening (hypertrophic nails) rarely heals naturally if left untreated.

In addition, simply shaving them off is not enough, as they are prone to recurrence.

It can also be caused by the use of high heels, pumps, or safety shoes while job hunting or at work.

＊This treatment is searched for nail thickening, thick nails, white nails, unbroken nails, etc.

There is a plus α!

Shin-Yokohama medical Foot Care Center’s

＼　7 features　／

1. Thorough analysis and identification of causes through careful counseling and examination

This examination and analysis is important in creating a recurrence prevention program, and we do not provide the streamlined treatment that is common in large companies, but rather we carefully find the cause of the problem, explain it in an easy-to-understand manner, and provide guidance for improvement.

At our center, this examination and analysis allows us to detect and treat lumbar disc herniation, sciatica, and molluscum contagiosum at an early stage, and to recommend that patients go to a nearby clinic. Because we strive to provide treatment that looks not only at the tree (the affected area) but also at the forest (the entire body), we are often able to improve ankle pain, knee and hip pain, lower back pain, stiff neck and shoulders, etc., in addition to fingernail pain.

2. Gentle and painless treatment

Since there is no cutting or peeling, everyone from children to the elderly can receive the treatment with peace of mind. Some people even relax and fall asleep. So even people with diabetes can receive the treatment with peace of mind.

If you feel pain during the treatment, we will check with you to see if there is a painless way to proceed, and we try to be patient with you.

3. You can see the difference right there.

Proof is better than argument. We try to make you feel the change and improvement the first time. Our practitioners, who are experts in nails, feet, legs, and even musculoskeletal conditions, are flexible to each person’s individual differences in nails and feet, leading to fundamental improvement.

If treatment is not necessary, we will let you know and offer alternatives. Please be aware that there are an increasing number of practices that perform treatments that are not necessary.

4. Improvement for those who cannot be cured by other orthopedic clinics

Those who have strong deformities, thick nails, complications of athlete’s foot, etc. that have been rejected by other hospitals, and those who cannot be cured by wire orthodontics also come to our clinic. Also, many people who want to heal without cutting or peeling off their nails come to us. We have received comments such as, “It didn’t spread at all in other places, but it spread here,” “I just had it scraped off in the past, but it came back, so I want to heal it properly,” and “I should have come here from the beginning.

Our treatment is different from other clinics because we have a deep understanding of the development, development, growth, structure, function, and nutrition of nails, skin, and feet, as well as the effects of lifestyle habits.

5.Recurrence prevention program and extensive follow-up

Ingrown toenails, hooked nails (onychogryphosis), and other nail problems, as well as leg and skeletal problems such as O- and X-legs and pelvis, are prone to recurrence. If nothing is done to correct ingrown toenails or hooked nails (onychogryphosis), they will almost always recur within a year.

Whether it is an ingrown toenail, athlete’s foot, or a hooked nail (onychogryphosis), it is always possible to improve the condition. Our center looks beyond that and focuses on methods to prevent recurrence.

6. Safety and Security by National Qualified Medical Personnel

We are experienced in treating a wide variety of problems in addition to ingrown toenails, athlete’s foot and ingrown toenails (onychogryphosis), and have received wide support from people from outside the city and prefecture, as well as from foreigners. We also have a thorough hygiene control system, so you can use our services with peace of mind.

We can also provide services in English, so if you have a family member or friend who is having trouble, please feel free to refer them to us.

7. Close to the station, open on Saturdays, and by appointment only, making it easy to visit.

The clinic is located in an easily accessible location, a 3-minute walk from Shin-Yokohama Station, and bicycle parking space is also available. We also have a bicycle parking space, and since there is almost no waiting time because we are by appointment only, we have patients with children and their families.
