Foot Care Clinic in Barry's Bay, Ontario

A foot care nurse is a nurse who specializes in the treatment and prevention of ankle and foot disorders, from minor issues like ingrown toenails to more serious problems like diabetes-related foot ulcers.

Podiatrists are medical doctors and are responsible for diagnosing and fixing foot/nail problems.

We are nurses, with extensive training in foot care and our responsibility is to prevent and treat problems. There is some overlap between these two disciplines.

We complete lower limb assessments, assessment of shoes and gait, nail cleaning, nail trimming, nail filing, debridement and paring down of calluses, removal of corns, reducing thick nails, addressing fungal toenails, care of ingrown toenails, lotion, foot/nail monitoring. We also provide health education. We do not perform surgery or prescribe medication. 

We work closely with doctors, physiotherapists, and other health professionals. We are willing to advocate and refer our clients as their needs require. 

Certified foot care nurses are highly educated and medically trained in this practice. They are professionals who are equipped to manage basic, advanced, and diabetic types of foot and nail care.

Typically, clients schedule appointments every 4-8 weeks; it depends on how fast your nails grow/your preference.

Anyone’s! We like to prevent problems from occurring. We treat a large variety of people. Our feet are often undervalued. Well cared for feet can affect your knees, back, circulation, balance, and gait. Our feet’s contribution to our overall health is significant.

Foot care nurses provide a nursing service, not pedicures. Pedicures are generalized services which do not treat or prevent foot/nail problems. 

After an appointment with us, you will receive professional, person-centered care and more knowledge about how to prevent the problems and pain from happening.
