Pincer Nail Treatment Case Study | Non-Surgical Relief
Situation
Amish Choksi, a 59-year-old male, suffered from a severely painful pincer nail that made wearing shoes unbearable. His medical history included an ankle injury with multiple muscle tendinitis, further complicating his mobility.
Complication
An active individual who enjoyed walking, Amish found his daily activities increasingly restricted. The pain and uncertainty about whom to consult left him frustrated and limited in his lifestyle.
Solution
At FootImpact, a detailed foot profile assessment revealed that Amish had flat feet with a wide forefoot.
For immediate relief, a non-surgical nail trimming procedure was performed.
To prevent recurrence, corrective measures for flat feet were initiated.
He was advised to switch to wide-width shoes for both sports and formal wear, ensuring long-term comfort.
Impact
Six months into regular follow-ups:
His nail condition has significantly improved.
There is no ankle swelling.
He has resumed his daily walks without pain or restriction.
👉 While nail problems often tend to recur, combining proper nail care with the right footwear can effectively prevent reoccurrence. The before-and-after results clearly demonstrate the success of this approach.
