Medical Pedicure By Podiatrists

A podiatrist medical pedicure is a dry pedicure. The focus is medical treatment by a foot doctor and podiatrist, not cosmetic treatment by cosmetologist.

Does Insurance Cover A Medical Pedicure?

• A medical pedicure is not meant for cosmetic reasons. We do not paint your nails and the goal is not to make you look pretty.
• The goal of a medical pedicure is to get rid of your pain.
• We strive to make your foot pain free, and if you are in pain then this is a valid medical visit under almost any insurance.
• We have trained podiatrists and foot doctors that are trained in foot and ankle surgery, these are not cosmetologists trained to make your foot look beautiful.
• If you are in pain then you definitely qualify for a medical pedicure.

What Is A Medical Pedicure:

• A medical pedicure is an evaluation by a podiatrist and foot specialist.
• Initially a medical assistant will remove your shoes and socks.
• We will have all our equipment and tools ready for the physician to use.
• Our physician will then come in and evaluate your foot for any foot and ankle problems.
• If these foot and ankle problems include ingrown toenails, thick fungal toenails or even a wart – then this is something the doctor can help you with.

What Conditions Are Helped By A Medical Pedicure:

A podiatrist and foot doctor can help you with the following conditions:

• Ingrown toenails.
• Fungal toenails.
• Warts.
• Corns.
• Calluses.
• Thick Skin.
• Skin Fungus.

How Long Does the Medical Pedicure Last?

• Generally results should last for about 3 months.
• If you have any worries about infection or severe pain, then this is another story, you can definitely come in for a visit.
• If you are in pain, or have issues earlier, then you always are able to call us for care.

Why A Medical Pedicure vs. Regular Pedicure?

• Podiatrists are here to diagnose and take care of your medical conditions.
• The focus is on safety and not on cosmetics.
• If you are here for getting your toenails painted, then you are likely in the wrong place.
• We use completely sterile equipment, we are here for you if you have what is defined as “at risk foot”: This can mean diabetes, heart disease or a history of infection.
