Routine Foot Care
Routine foot care is a preventive medical service performed by a podiatrist to maintain the health of your feet and catch potential issues before they become serious. While it may seem like a "pedicure," it is a clinical procedure focused on hygiene, skin integrity, and circulation.
Common Routine Services
Professional Nail Trimming: Cutting and debriding (thinning) thickened or fungal toenails that are difficult to manage at home.
Corn & Callus Removal: Using sterile instruments to shave or pare down painful hardened skin.
Hygienic Maintenance: Deep cleansing of the feet and applying medical-grade topical ointments to prevent cracking or infection.
Circulatory Check: Evaluating pulses and skin temperature to ensure healthy blood flow to the extremities.
Sensory Screening: Testing for numbness or loss of feeling, which is a common early sign of nerve damage (neuropathy).
