MEDICAL PEDICURE

Healthy feet are essential to our overall well-being. Yet we use our feet every single day of our lives and we don't always have the ideal weight. As we age, our joints weaken and our feet have to cope with additional demands, resulting in abnormal pressure points and other problems such as fallen arches, splay feet or flat feet. These, in turn, can cause painful calluses, corns, ingrown toe nails and other similar afflictions.

In a medical pedicure, inturned and ingrown toe nails are professionally cut, nail fungus and thickened nails are treated, excessive hard skin, calluses and corns are meticulously removed. Regular medical pedicures can ensure the timely identification and treatment of these typical foot problems and existing problems with the feet can be remedied or at least considerably alleviated. People with diabetes have to take special care of their feet. The associated nerve damage means that diabetes sufferers often do not notice warning pains. Their healing processes are also much longer and more complicated than those of people without diabetes, and they are more susceptible to infection after minimal injuries.
