What Is a Podiatrist-Performed Pedicure?

A podiatric pedicure, also known as a medical pedicure, is a foot care service performed by a licensed podiatrist or trained medical staff. It focuses on foot health, safety, and comfort, rather than cosmetic appearance. This type of pedicure is ideal for individuals who need professional medical attention for their feet.

Podiatric Pedicure vs. Salon Pedicure

Unlike salon pedicures, podiatric pedicures are performed in a medical setting using sterilized, medical-grade instruments. Salon pedicures primarily focus on nail polish and appearance, while podiatric pedicures prioritize safe nail trimming, callus care, and infection prevention—especially for patients with underlying health conditions.

Medical Focus vs. Cosmetic Focus​

Medical Focus vs. Cosmetic Focus

Podiatric pedicures are designed to treat and prevent foot problems, such as thick toenails, ingrown nails, calluses, and cracked heels. The goal is to maintain healthy feet and reduce the risk of complications. Cosmetic pedicures, on the other hand, emphasize aesthetics and typically do not address medical foot concerns.

Who Benefits Most From a Podiatric Pedicure?

Podiatric pedicures are especially beneficial for:

  • Seniors who may have difficulty trimming their nails safely
  • Diabetic patients who require careful foot care to prevent infections
  • Patients with foot pain, thick nails, or circulation issues
  • Individuals with limited mobility or vision problems
  • Anyone seeking safe, professional foot care beyond cosmetic services
