Fungal Nails

Fungal toenails are one of the most common conditions that affect feet. It is a problem that Chiropodists treat every day. At Advanced Foot & Orthotic Clinic we have comfortable and easy solutions to treating fungal toenails.

 Fungal toenails are cause by...you guessed it...FUNGUS. Fungus loves moist, dark and warm places to live; and what better place for fungus to live than on a persons's foot. Fungus also loves to live in nails that have been damages. So, if you combine the environment that your foot lives in...socks and shoes all day...with a toenail that has sustained any damage, the common result is a fungal toenail infection.

We are all susceptible to fungal toenails. The most common way to contract toenail fungus is to walk barefoot in an area where another person with fungus has walked. The fungus that causes fungal toenails is all around us, including on our skin. So, that means, we can have all come in contact with fungus as one point or another. Combine that with the warm, dark and moist environment of your feet and we create the perfect situation for fungal nails.
