Partial treatments

Nail treatment
Professional cutting, filing and cleaning of the nails is offered as part of the nail treatment.

Ingrown toenail
‍Ingrown
toenails are caused by various factors:
Incorrect cutting of the toenails, incorrect footwear and increased pressure can be a key reason for this.
Thanks to various treatment options, such as nail clippers, we can help you to achieve faster pain relief.

Callus treatment/
Corn treatment

Pressure, friction and incorrect footwear often lead to pressure sores (calluses) that grow deep over time and can lead to so-called corns.
In podiatry treatment, these pressure points are removed using scalpel techniques.

Nail brace (orthonyxia)
Orthonyxia is primarily used for immediate pain relief and shaping of the nail.
The ingrowth of the toenail is prevented using different brace techniques:
- BS brace
- Titanium brace

Nail prosthetics (TNP)
Nail growth can be damaged by various influences such as a blow, accident, nail fungus, nail tear, nail loss or surgery.
Partial nail prosthetics (TNP) protects and corrects the nail and nail bed using a gel. It also provides pain relief, shaping, correction and widening of the nail.
- Gel cover
- Gel structure

Toe orthosis
An orthosis is an anatomically customized silicone relief device that can also have a corrective effect depending on the shape and choice of material. It helps to relieve pressure points and toe deformities.
- Toe wedge
- Omega orthosis
