Professional Medical Foot Care at Foster Foot Care Clinic
A medical pedicure is a professional foot care treatment focused on foot health—not cosmetic appearance. Unlike a spa pedicure, medical pedicures are performed by a trained foot care professional using sterile instruments in a clinical setting.
At Foster Foot Care Clinic in Fonthill, ON, our medical pedicures are designed to safely treat foot and nail concerns while improving comfort, hygiene, and overall foot health.
What Is a Medical Pedicure?
A medical pedicure is a clinical foot care treatment that addresses common foot and nail issues such as thickened nails, calluses, corns, dry skin, and nail abnormalities. It is especially beneficial for individuals who may not be suitable for regular spa pedicures.
Medical pedicures focus on prevention, hygiene, and foot health, rather than nail polish or cosmetic treatments.
Who Can Benefit From a Medical Pedicure?
Medical pedicures are ideal for:
- Individuals with diabetes
- Seniors
- People with thickened, brittle, or difficult-to-trim nails
- Those with corns, calluses, or cracked heels
- Individuals with reduced flexibility or mobility
- People with circulation or nerve issues
Anyone seeking safe, professional foot care
Medical pedicures are customized based on each patient’s foot health needs.
What’s Included in a Medical Pedicure?
A medical pedicure at Foster Foot Care Clinic may include:
- Thorough foot and nail assessment
- Safe trimming and thinning of toenails
- Reduction of thickened or fungal nails
- Corn and callus care
- Removal of dry, cracked skin
- Cuticle care (when appropriate)

Medical Pedicures for Patients With Diabetes

We offer diabetic-safe medical pedicures in Fonthill, focusing on gentle nail care, skin protection, and early detection of foot concerns to help prevent complications.
