What is a medical pedicure?
A medical pedicure is a comprehensive foot treatment that goes beyond the aesthetic aspects. Unlike a standard pedicure, which primarily focuses on beautifying your nails and skin, a medical pedicure is performed by trained staff at Hammond Foot and Ankle. Furthermore, many ailments such as warts, foot fungus, ingrown toenails, and nail infections can be caused by unsanitary pedicures at standard salons. A medically-safe pedicure at Hammond Foot and Ankle will not only address both the health and appearance of your feet, but will prevent you from developing one of these problems after an unsanitary pedicure.
