When a client texts me and says "I think I have an ingrown toenail. my toe is sore, red, swollen, and painful." I try my best to fit clients into a service the next day to help relieve the pain, assess what is currently going on, as having ingrown toenails is never fun.
What I want to do is decrease the amount of pressure that is currently applied to the skin from the nail. As well as assess to see if there is any nail that is currently still present if they or someone else attempted to remove it themselves. Remember, when we are dealing with ingrown toenails we want to not use tools that have not been autoclaved as there is a high risk for infection. A non surgical treatment I can provide is Onyfix, this is a composite that we harden onto the nail with a blue light. It relieves the pressure immediately and guides the nail to grow properly up and not into the skin. It's a great solution and with it not being invasive, bonus and another bonus! Happy Friday! Talk soon, Nicki Gigolyk

Well everyone, it's that time of year where we are finally able to find our sandals, slip them on, and enjoy the heat of the sun outside. The thing is, once we find our sandals, we get excited, then we look at our feet and think "awe man, I need to get my toenails done". The longer we put off an appointment for our feet and nails, the longer we feel uncomfortable about the fact that we haven't taken the time to provide ourselves with the foot care we deserve. The nice thing about KC Medical is clients have the freedom to book foot care appointments online. It's a phone call away, a text away, an email away, or a do it myself booking an appointment now online kind of way. With the CompanyOn App, you have the flexibility to book an appointment that fits for your schedule. Here is the link: https://kcmedical.companyon.app/dashboard
