4 Reasons You May Need a Medical Pedicure

Your feet are your foundation. Healthy feet allow you to stand, walk, and do the things you need and want to do.
At Premier Foot and Ankle Center in Worcester and Webster, Massachusetts, our team helps our patients maintain healthy feet. That may include a medical pedicure as part of a comprehensive care plan.
If you’re an athlete or have certain conditions, a medical pedicure may be right for you.
People who may need a medical pedicure
Reasons people visit Premier Foot and Ankle Center for medical pedicures include:
1. You play sports or are active
Exercise is good for you but can be hard on your feet. If you’re an athlete or otherwise spend significant time on your feet, you could benefit from a medical pedicure. We address the wear-and-tear on your feet that comes from constant use.
2. You worry about hygiene
We’re a medical practice, and hygiene is a top concern; at nail salons, it might not. Our office is a private, clinical environment, and we adhere to the highest standards of cleanliness.
Sterilizing tools, for example, limits the risk of infection. That’s especially important in preventing the spread of issues like athlete’s foot and other common foot-related diseases.
3. You have a health condition
Diabetes, cancer, and autoimmune diseases are just a few health conditions that can impact your feet. These chronic conditions can make your feet more susceptible to complications like ulcers or serious infections.
Regular medical pedicures allow us to monitor the health of your feet, keeping them safe and lowering your risk of infection.
4. You have a foot problem
Several common foot conditions make getting a pedicure in a salon a bad idea. For example, if you have nail fungus or athlete’s foot, it’s a good idea to get a medical pedicure. We can treat the issue and handle overgrown nails and dead skin.
Healthy feet for the long term
At Premier Foot and Ankle Center, we aim to help you keep your feet healthy now and into the future. Routine medical pedicures can ensure minor issues don’t become significant problems.
When you have a condition such as diabetes, foot problems can progress quickly. Prevention is the key to keeping your feet healthy.
Along with monitoring the health of your feet, we also help you understand how to care for them at home. Our staff provides advice about hygiene, footwear, and more. You have the opportunity to ask questions and get answers from experts.
Your feet are as unique as the rest of you. We offer personalized care tailored to your lifestyle or health needs. To learn more about the benefits of medical pedicures, schedule an appointment at the Premier Foot and Ankle Center location near you.
