General Podiatry

General podiatry is what podiatrists are known for best. It involves the treatment of skin and nails, often regularly.

Our general care podiatrists perform medical pedicures as part of their routine foot care services. This branch of podiatry differs from traditional salon pedicures in that they focus on maintaining foot health rather than just aesthetics. During a medical pedicure, the podiatrist will carefully examine your feet, assess any issues, and use specialized tools to gently remove dead skin, calluses, and corns.

They may also trim your toenails and provide advice on proper foot care techniques. Medical pedicures can be particularly beneficial for individuals with diabetes or other conditions that affect foot health, as they can help prevent complications such as infections or ulcers.

Overall, regular medical pedicures with a podiatrist can help keep your feet healthy and pain-free.
