Nail Trauma, Fungal Toenails, and Tight Muscles - Jonathan Hesketh, Patient Testimonial

Описание: Jonathan Hesketh from the UK, a long-time resident of Singapore, has struggled with a fungal nail infection on his big toe due to the hot and humid climate. Despite his active lifestyle, the condition persisted, leading him to seek help from various clinics without success. However, his search eventually led him to East Coast Podiatry, where he found hope for a permanent solution.

During his visit to the clinic on Orchard Road, Jonathan was assessed by Senior Podiatrist Georgina Tay, a very experienced podiatrist. It was discovered that Jonathan's habit of wearing tight shoes and prolonged exposure to humidity had created an ideal environment for fungal growth, necessitating nail removal. The process was less daunting than expected, and Jonathan was able to return to work the same day.

To eliminate the remaining fungal infection, he had to come back to the clinic regularly for PACT therapy. PACT is a new, safe, and effective light therapy used to address fungal nail infections.

During his consultation, Georgina also identified physical limitations in Jonathan's feet and body, such as extremely tight calves, hamstrings, and IT band, along with hip bursitis. To address these issues, he was given customized insoles (orthotics) to insert into his shoes.

Wearing his insoles daily improved his walking mechanics, even when he was not wearing them. With time, Jonathan experienced improved mobility and was able to return to his favorite sports without the previous discomfort.

Furthermore, his toenails fully healed, with new nails growing out—a result he never thought possible before coming to the podiatrist.
