Toenail Fungus Treatment Oregon

Nail Fungus or Onychomycosis refers to a fungal infection of the nail, nail bed, or nail plate. The nail may appear thickened, yellow, or cloudy in appearance. It can affect both fingernails and toenails.  It is not life threatening, but it can contribute to pain, discomfort, weakened nail strength and unsightly appearance. Nail fungus affects over 20 million Americans and accounts for half of all nail disorders.

The  procedure for treating nail fungus usually requires one to five treatments (persistent cases may take more).

What is Onychomycosis?

It is a very common condition and is estimated to impact 26% of the population with older people in 80% of cases. You may suffer from onychomycosis if you have one or more of the following symptoms:

Fungal spores are highly contagious and can spread into other healthy nails and the skin if not treated aggressively and quickly and can lead to athlete’s foot or fungal skin conditions in other areas of the body.

How common are fungal nail infections?

Onychomycosis, a fungal infection of the toenails, is extremely common and affects up to 20 million people in the US. In fact almost half of all nail problems are related to fungus.

It is more common in older people and affects men more often than women; however, it also occurs in younger individuals. It generally attacks the toenails but can affect fingernails as well. Fungal infections of the nails are disease processes that cause changes in nail color and texture.

The nail will become crumbly, smelly and difficult to cut. As the infection thickens you may feel pain in your shoes as well as bleed under your nails causing black spots.

Infected nails can become brittle, cracked and detached from the toe. The debris that collects beneath them causes an unpleasant smell and allows fungus to continue infecting skin on other areas of the body.

How Does Laser Toenail Treatment Work?

The laser fungus treatment raises the temperature of fungal organisms under the nail by sending pulses of light into them.

Laser treatments for toenail fungus do not damage healthy tissue or skin. Unlike topical therapies, the laser light can penetrate through the nail and reach deeper into the infection which is why it has such a good success rate in curing this condition.

What Our Patient’s Say About Us
  • “I had severe nail fungus on all my toes. I started treatment with Dr. Reynolds initially using laser treatment which was moderately successful, but unable to fully resolve the most severely effected nails. After transitioning to low dose Diflucan treatments for approximately 6 months. I successfully regrew fungus free nails! My nail and foot hygiene and health were significantly improved using the techniques Dr. Reynolds taught me. I’m so glad he was able to help me solve this difficult problem I had been struggling with for years!

    The best part of the treatment was how effective it was and that I no longer struggle with nail fungus! I really appreciated how Dr. Reynolds treated me as a whole person and included general wellness consultation despite the discrete and specific issue I came to him seeking treatment for.

    Nail fungus is more difficult to treat than I had previously understood. I really appreciated the concern and focussed attention. Dr. Reynolds brought to treating this issue and the fact that he was willing to try different methods until we reduce foot fungus.”

  • “I had two (big toe) toenails with toenail fungus issues. One I had struggled with for several years and had sought treatment for from a couple of medical doctors over the years, but with minimal success.

    The treatment Dr. Reynolds prescribed for my toe included both the use of supplements, and a prescription. Dr. Reynolds was very careful to get my bloodwork done so that he could be sure there were no undesirable side effects from my use of the prescription. He also, prescribed an on-going simple vinegar remedy that will prevent the reinfection of my toenails with fungus in the future. And, he also encouraged me to continue using the shoe sterilizers I had already purchased. The comprehensive treatment he thoughtfully prescribed for me has been extremely effective, completely curing one toenail and reducing the fungus in the other toenail (the one infected for years) to the point that it is hardly noticeable.

    The comprehensive treatment he thoughtfully prescribed for me has been extremely effective, completely curing one toenail and reducing the fungus in the other toenail (the one infected for years) to the point that it is hardly noticeable. Having battled the fungus for so many years, I was skeptical that any progress could be made to cure it, so I was very impressed, not to mention grateful that he could cure the fungus issues”.

  • “I went to Dr. Reynolds seeking help with a very bad toenail fungus on one of my feet. This was after several other medical professionals told me that it was impossible to treat. Dr. Reynolds developed a treatment plan tailored to my specific needs and he worked with me until the nail fungus was eliminated.

    Dr. Reynolds is a really kind and compassionate practitioner. He used a measured, evidence-based approach to help me, and I always felt like he had my best interest in mind. The best part of all was that the treatment worked!

    Before treatment with Dr. Reynolds I felt very discouraged by the limited options provided to me by other practitioners. Most of them told me that nail fungus was not treatable and that I should just learn to accept it. While Dr. Reynolds could not guarantee any outcomes, he did offer me options to try and promised to do all he could to safely achieve the results I desired. I am very happy to report that my nail fungus has been gone (now going on over a year). I was so happy with my treatment that I started seeing Dr. Reynolds for other care as well.”

  • “I’ve been working with Dr. Reynolds on my nail problems for almost two years. The ‘standard’ approaches were ineffective so he customized the program, relentlessly pursuing a solution.  What a difference that made! Dr. Reynolds is systematic and thorough and in fact so is the entire staff at ONM. I highly recommend them to others looking for treatments to difficult problems. After my two-year experience I decided to make ONM and Dr. Reynolds my regular GP”.
