NAIL PROBLEMS IN ATHLETES: HEALTHY FEET DESPITE INTENSE STRAIN

Sporting activities are a source of pleasure, ambition and physical fitness. However, this enthusiasm also brings its own specific challenges, especially for the feet of sports enthusiasts. Toenails are particularly vulnerable to problems due to the repetitive strain, tight footwear and intense exercise.

Consequently, nail problems in this context pose a significant obstacle to athletes. Besides the pain involved, such issues can also harm their performance.

CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS FOR ACTIVE FEET

People who do a lot of exercise are subjecting their feet to extreme strain, whether in endurance sports, ball sports, or intense training. This can lead to toenail discolouration, deformation and pressure marks, and even painful injuries.

INGROWN TOENAILS DURING SPORTS

The ongoing pressure and friction from tight sports footwear increase the risk of ingrown toenails, which cause unpleasant pain, noticeable swelling and possible infection. These potential consequences can affect not just your general sense of well-being but also your performance during sports, as they restrict your ability to move.

INVOLUTED NAILS DUE TO SPORTING ACTIVITIES

Strain on the feet during sporting activities can lead to severe nail deformation, also known as involuted nails. This in turn can lead to pressure marks, pain and other unpleasant problems, which can also prevent an athlete from moving about properly and reduce their sporting performance.

HOW TO USE ONYFIX

The principle of the Onyfix nail correction system is to bring involuted or ingrown nails back into a natural shape through normal growth without any tension or pain, following more or less proximal application of the Onyfix correction brace using a hardened composite. Your foot care expert first prepares the nail prior to application. The Onyfix composite is then spread on the nail and shaped correctly. After the composite has hardened, the nail correction system fixes the nail in its natural shape.


The Onyfix nail correction system ensures that this shape is retained as the nail grows naturally. When treatment has been completed successfully, your foot care expert removes the correction system, which is also pain-free.
