Ingrown toenails can be painful and worsen quickly if not treated properly. At The Foot Nurse, we provide safe, effective ingrown toenail care in the Twin Cities Metro, with both in-home and clinic-based options.

 

 

We treat clients of all ages, with a focus on comfort and prevention.

Onyfix®: A Gentle, Non-Surgical Solution for Ingrown Toenails

Living with painful ingrown toenails can make everyday activities uncomfortable. Many people assume surgery is the only option for relief, but Onyfix® offers a gentle, non-invasive alternative designed to correct and reshape problematic nails over time without surgery or downtime.

At The Foot Nurse, Onyfix® applications are currently performed exclusively by Katie and Nicolle, who have received specialized training in this advanced nail correction technique. If you are interested in Onyfix treatment, please request an appointment directly with Katie or Nicolle when scheduling so we can properly assess whether this treatment is right for you.

 

What Is Onyfix®?

Onyfix® is a painless nail correction system used to treat:

  • Ingrown toenails

  • Curved or involuted toenails

  • Recurring nail pain and pressure

  • Nails prone to becoming ingrown

This innovative treatment is especially helpful for clients seeking a conservative

alternative to ingrown toenail surgery.

 

How Onyfix® Works

A small, flexible composite brace is applied directly to the surface of the toenail. As the nail grows, the Onyfix® system gently guides the nail into a healthier shape, reducing pressure, discomfort, and the likelihood of future ingrown nails.

The treatment is:

  • Non-surgical

  • Painless

  • Safe for daily activities

  • Designed for long-term relief

Most clients can continue walking, exercising, and wearing regular shoes immediately after treatment.

 

Professional Ingrown Toenail Care

Ignoring ingrown toenails can lead to ongoing pain, inflammation, and infection — especially for individuals with diabetes, poor circulation, or sensitive feet. Professional foot care can help prevent complications while improving comfort and mobility.

If you’ve been struggling with chronic ingrown toenails, Onyfix® may provide the lasting relief you’ve been looking for.
