Medical Pedicures

A medical pedicure is appropriate for people with pain or discomfort in their feet. If their nails are thick or growing sideways, or if they have troublesome corns or calluses it’s time for a medi-pedi. Before people can no longer get their shoes on, they should consult a foot specialty nurse.

Clients can be sure of sterilized tools and appropriate medical interventions that take into consideration general health problems including diabetes, use of blood thinners, and skin problems.

A typical hour-long visit will begin with a thorough cleaning of the feet. Best practices no longer include a foot soak. The next step is to clip and file the nails. An electric file is used to treat thickened nails. The feet will be examined for corns and calluses and treated as necessary. The visit will end with a foot moisturizer.

At this time our foot care nurse charges $80 per regular client visit, at the centre. This is a discount from home visit charges.
