While many nail salons provide a relaxing experience, it’s important to be aware of the potential risks to your foot health if hygiene and proper practices aren’t followed.
At Border Podiatry Centre, we often see problems caused by poor nail care, including:
- Ingrown toenails from nails being cut too short or incorrectly
- Fungal nail infections spread through unsterilised tools
- Cuts or skin trauma from aggressive filing or trimming
- Corns and calluses worsened by improper treatment
- Increased risk of infection for people with diabetes or poor circulation
Your feet deserve expert care. If you have painful nails, thickened nails, ingrown toenails or ongoing foot concerns, a podiatrist is the safest choice for professional treatment and advice.
Healthy feet start with the right care. Book your appointment today!
