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.
Medical Pedicure for your corns and calluses.
What Is A Medical Pedicure:
A medical pedicure is an evaluation by a podiatrist and foot specialist.
Initially a medical assistant will remove your feet 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.
