NEW HAMBURG NURSING FOOT CARE

Foot Care Nurses typically deal with the nails and skin of the foot.  In addition to these basic services, an Advanced Foot Care Nurse (AFCN) is also qualified to perform specialized treatments for high-risk clients including those individuals with arthritis, autoimmune disorders, and diabetes.

Nursing Foot Care services may include:

• Treatment of ingrown toenails
• Treatment of thick, hard and fungal nails
• Reduction and/or removal of heavy calluses and painful corns
• Helpful teaching techniques to promote prevention of specific foot issues

Many foot problems are avoidable with proper preventative care and maintenance. Regular foot care treatments offer the potential for improved mobility, reduced pain, and a higher quality of life. It is most common for clients to enjoy scheduled foot care treatments every 4-8 weeks.

If you have Extended Health Care (EHC) insurance you may be eligible for all or part of your treatment to be reimbursed. Your employer, human resource representative, or union will be able to provide information as to the details of your coverage for Nursing Foot Care under your EHC plan. Your receipts may also be applied as a tax deduction where applicable.
