Meet Winston!
So what does this rather handsome chap have in common with a foot complaint?!
Answer: Onychogryphosis or “Rams Horn Nail” hence the sheep… 😁
Believe it or not, some people suffer with this condition, which in all its glory can look almost identical to this prize Ram’s rather spectacular horns.
Its often caused by either a high impact or repetitive stress trauma to the nail bed.
This condition is not exclusive to the elderly and some can find it very embarrassing to the point where they’re too frightened to seek help.
You wouldn’t believe it but Podiatrists can sort these problems in a matter of minutes and have your nail looking closer to normal than you might imagine.
The pain relief from effective treatment can be tremendous… and your shoes will fit again!
I can assure you I’m super gentle and will always go at your pace so if you’re particularly nervous about seeking treatment for this problem please don’t be!
Don’t suffer in silence, we can fix this!
If you’re keen to see the real deal, feel free to Google the condition and if you think you’re in possession of the offending appendage give us a call and we’ll take a look 👍
Please be aware that there are other conditions that can look very similar such as fungal nail infections, which we can treat too and sometimes it takes a Podiatrists keen eye to tell the difference. We have a little ‘before and after’ video coming soon for problems just like these…. 👀 🎥
Bye for now!
