Clear Your Nails with Diowave Laser Therapy

Sep 29, 2025 -- Posted by : Dr.Harcourt

Thick, yellow, or crumbling toenails? You may be dealing with onychomycosis—a common and often stubborn fungal infection of the toenail. While it may seem cosmetic, toenail fungus can impact your confidence, comfort, and long-term foot health.

At Coast Chiropractic Centers in Fort Myers, we offer Diowave laser therapy, a cutting-edge, drug-free approach to treating toenail fungus. As part of our holistic care model, this therapy aligns with our mission to help you heal naturally—without the risks of oral medications or invasive procedures.


What Is Onychomycosis?

Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of the toenails (and sometimes fingernails), caused by:

  • Dermatophytes (most common)

  • Yeasts

  • Non-dermatophyte molds

Symptoms can include:

  • Discoloration (yellow, brown, or white)

  • Nail thickening or brittleness

  • Crumbling edges

  • Foul odor

  • Detachment from the nail bed

  • Pain when wearing shoes or walking

Left untreated, onychomycosis can worsen and spread to other nails or the surrounding skin, especially in those with diabetes, poor circulation, or compromised immune function.


Why Traditional Treatments Often Fall Short

Conventional treatments include:

  • Topical antifungal creams or lacquers

  • Oral antifungal medications

  • Surgical nail removal

However, these methods may:

  • Take months to work

  • Require daily application

  • Carry risks of liver toxicity (in oral medications)

  • Be ineffective due to poor nail penetration

That’s where Diowave laser therapy offers a major breakthrough.


How Diowave Laser Therapy Works

Diowave is a high-powered Class IV laser that uses concentrated light energy to penetrate the nail plate and destroy fungal organisms living in and under the nail.

✅ Key Benefits:

  • Non-invasive and painless

  • No medications or injections required

  • Targets fungus at the root

  • Quick treatments—usually under 30 minutes

  • No downtime or side effects

  • Supports healthy nail regrowth

The laser heats the nail and surrounding tissues to a level that disrupts the fungus’s cell structure, while leaving healthy tissue unaffected.


What to Expect During Treatment

At Coast Chiropractic Centers, your laser treatment experience will include:

  1. Initial Consultation & Nail Evaluation
    We’ll confirm that your symptoms are caused by fungal infection and determine if Diowave laser therapy is right for you.

  2. Laser Sessions
    Most patients require a series of treatments, spaced out over several weeks, depending on the severity of the infection.

  3. Post-Treatment Guidance
    We’ll provide simple hygiene tips and lifestyle guidance to prevent reinfection and promote healthy nail regrowth.


Why Include Laser Nail Therapy at a Chiropractic Office?

Our goal at Coast Chiropractic Centers is to support whole-body health from the ground up—and that includes your feet.

  • Healthy feet = better posture and gait

  • Unhealthy nails = discomfort, altered walking mechanics, and self-consciousness

  • Nail pain can negatively impact balance, spinal alignment, and nerve health

Laser nail therapy fits naturally into our broader approach to wellness, helping you feel better, move better, and live more confidently.


Who Is a Good Candidate for Diowave Laser?

Laser therapy is ideal for:

  • Patients with moderate to severe onychomycosis

  • Those who can’t tolerate or don’t want oral antifungals

  • Anyone seeking a natural, side-effect-free option

  • Individuals with diabetes, neuropathy, or circulatory issues

  • People who want to address the issue before it worsens or spreads


Results You Can Expect

  • Visible improvement within 3–6 months (as nails grow out)

  • Pain relief and improved comfort in shoes

  • Reduced discoloration and thickening

  • Healthier-looking nails with continued improvement over time

Success depends on early intervention, consistency, and following post-treatment care to prevent reinfection.
