What You Need To Know About Medical Pedicures

Healthy feet are beautiful, and a medical pedicure helps maintain the health of your feet. A medical pedicure is performed in a podiatry office by qualified professionals.

Your feet perform important functions like supporting your weight, helping you keep your balance, and enabling you to stand and walk. When your feet suffer, your entire body suffers too.

A medical pedicure includes many important steps to promote excellent foot health. These steps include:

• Completing a comprehensive foot examination to check for foot, toe, and ankle issues
• Cutting and shaping your toenails
• Filing your toenails to smooth out rough edges
• Cleaning dirt and debris from underneath and around your toenails
• Thoroughly cleaning the nail beds underneath your nails
• Smoothing away calluses and corns to prevent friction when you wear shoes
• Thoroughly moisturizing your feet to prevent cracks and fissures

Regular medical pedicures are an important way to monitor the health of your feet. A medical pedicure can help:

• Prevent the development of ingrown toenails
• Repair cracked or damaged toenails
• Eliminate foot and toenail odors
• Prevent dry, cracked skin
• Boost circulation to your feet, toes, and ankles to promote health
• Accelerate healing of cuts, blisters, and sores
• Improve nerve function in your feet, toes, and ankles
