Why You Should Consider a Medical Pedicure

How a medical pedicure from your podiatrist in Alexandria, VA, can help your feet look and feel their best.

If you’ve ever had a pedicure, you already know how great it is to treat your feet. Now, it’s time for you to consider a different type of pedicure–a medical pedicure! A medical pedicure makes your feet look great and feel great too.

Dr. Gregory Cardinal at Podiatrist in Motion in Alexandria, VA, provides a wide range of foot and ankle services, including a medical pedicure to help your feet look and feel their best.

So, why should you consider a medical pedicure? Because a medical pedicure focuses on both the health and the beauty of your feet. A medical pedicure is great for everyone, but it’s highly recommended for:

• People with diabetes
• Aging, arthritic feet
• People with flat feet
• Tired, aching, overused feet
• People who stand or walk for long periods
• People with foot or toe conditions like plantar fasciitis or hammertoe

A medical pedicure goes the extra mile to make sure your feet and toes are healthy. Your podiatrist will perform these important steps in delivering your medical pedicure:

• Checking your feet and toes, looking for any signs of fungal growth, ingrown toenails, and other issues
• Shaping your toenails by cutting them straight across
• Filing your toenails to remove jagged edges and make them smooth
• Removing any debris and dirt under your toenails
• Cleaning the nail beds underneath your nails
• Smoothing away corns and calluses
• Moisturizing your feet to prevent dryness and cracking

When you schedule a medical pedicure, you and your feet will enjoy:

• Healthy toes, toenails, feet, and ankles
• Supple, smooth skin on your feet and toes
• Elimination of foot odors caused by bacteria and debris
