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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
At Coast Chiropractic Centers, your laser treatment experience will include:
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.
Laser Sessions
Most patients require a series of treatments, spaced out over several weeks, depending on the severity of the infection.
Post-Treatment Guidance
We’ll provide simple hygiene tips and lifestyle guidance to prevent reinfection and promote healthy nail regrowth.
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.
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
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.
