10 Causes of Ingrown Toenails
Cause #3: Posture
Being able to walk, run, jump and other physical activities require a great deal of coordination and balance. We don’t notice it, but we are constantly adjusting our bodies to maintain our balance. This means we also have a posture that helps maintain this balance and coordination, and it is a posture our bodies have evolved to live with.
Not all of us have an ideal posture, though, and an abnormal posture can result in numerous complications. An abnormal posture could push the toes together and put pressure on the toes as they grow, potentially leading to an ingrown toenail. Posture abnormalities can often be corrected using surgery, therapy and devices.
