Because your toes are tucked away in socks and shoes, it is easy to dismiss a little discoloration or a weird ache as just part of getting older. But not for us at PodiatryCare, PC, and the Heel Pain Center! Our toes are the furthest point from our heart and are packed with tiny blood vessels and nerves, which makes them the first place many systemic health issues show up.

Try This When Trimming Toenails

The doctors at PodiatryCare, PC and the Heel Pain Center warn against a common condition that results in poor trimming: ingrown toenails. This condition occurs when the toenail begins to grow into the side of your skin. The gradual growth can be very painful. If left untreated, it can lead to infection.
