Toe nails ... everyone has them

Many people present to Westside Podiatry Centers with nail problems. These problems can range from extremely painful problems that can cause infections and dangerous situations for people with diabetes, to cosmetic problems that effect how a patient feels at the beach in the summer. The problems can be seen in young children and the elderly. When the problems are seen in children they are usually from an injury or an inherited disorder. The older a patient gets the more likely the problem has been acquired from all the years of abuse we put our feet through daily.
