Medical Foot Care
What a Medical Footcare Involves
Comprehensive Foot Assessment: The treatment usually begins with a thorough examination of the feet to assess the overall foot health. Carine Podiatry practitioner will check for any underlying conditions such as fungal infections, calluses, corns, ingrown toenails, or other nail and skin abnormalities.
Nail Care: Nails are carefully trimmed, shaped, and cleaned to prevent issues like ingrown toenails. If necessary, thickened or fungal-infected nails are treated using specialised tools and techniques.
Callus and Corn Removal: Calluses and corns, which are thickened areas of skin that can cause discomfort, are safely and effectively reduced or removed using sterile instruments.
Treatment of Skin Conditions: Any skin concerns, such as athlete’s foot, warts, or cracked heels, are addressed during the treatment. Our Carine Podiatry practitioner may provide treatments like antifungal creams, moisturisers, or antiseptic solutions.
Cuticle Care: Cuticles are gently pushed back and trimmed if necessary, ensuring they are healthy without causing any damage or introducing infection.
Moisturising and Exfoliation: The feet are exfoliated to remove dead skin cells and then moisturised with medical-grade creams or lotions to keep the skin soft and hydrated.
Foot Hygiene Education: Patients receive advice on proper foot hygiene and care, including tips on footwear, socks, and nail care to prevent future foot problems.
Specialised Equipment and Sterilisation: At Carine Podiatry we use sterile, medical-grade equipment, ensuring a high level of hygiene and minimising the risk of infection. Unlike cosmetic salons, medical pedicures prioritise sterility and use instruments that are sterilised using autoclaves.
Additional Treatments: Depending on the patient's needs, additional treatments may be offered, such as the application of nail braces for ingrown toenails or silicone toe devices to correct toe alignment.
