We eliminate pain and sanitize the feet We help your feet with a medical pedicure
The feet are a complex system of bones, muscles and tendons that can change up to 25 times in a lifetime. There may be changes in the foot in the area of the front of the foot and changes in the skin and nails. These can cause pain, so we can help you in such situations.
- In addition to therapy for skin and nail changes, a foot examination can be performed. For example, we examine the feet and treat pathological changes in the skin, nails, feel the pulse of the foot, look for orthopedic changes, evaluate shoes and insoles, and give general advice on daily care. Medical foot care can, on the one hand, relieve pain and, on the other hand, refer the patient for further treatment, for example to a doctor or specialist.
- Diabetologists for the treatment of diabetic foot
- Dermatology – recognizes skin diseases and refers them to a specialist for further treatment; In some cases, skin diseases are treated in collaboration with a doctor
- Orthopedics – improper alignment of the feet and syndromes of improper load, cooperation with doctors
Medical foot care eliminates various foot disorders
It is especially important for people with diabetes mellitus: diabetes can damage nerves and blood vessels, cause wounds and ulcers that do not heal well, and tissue death in the leg. This is called “diabetic foot syndrome.” If not treated in a timely manner and in an appropriate manner, amputation can occur.
With medical foot care, we can also prevent and rehabilitate other foot problems. These include:
- corns (clavus)
- toenail disease (onychogryphosa)
- fungal nail infections (onychomycosis),
- athletic foot
- ingrown nails (unguis incarnatus) and the correct orientation of the nail plate,
- nail plate thickening,
- nail plate detachment (onycholysis)
- deformities (unguis convulutus) and injuries,
- release of feet from pressure (making orthoses),
- foot analysis,
- sensitivity test (with natural fork, TipTherm and monofilament) of the feet in case of nervous disorders
- Personal advice: skin and foot care, appropriate cream, suitable shoes.
From our practice Foot care: skin treatment
Athletic foot, warts and corns are among the typical pathological changes of the skin on the foot. These changes in the skin can be accompanied by unpleasant pain that people usually complain of.
Medical foot care can be helpful even if mobility is limited and it is therefore difficult to take care of our feet ourselves. Foot care in old age is often a neglected part of personal hygiene. This is because those affected can sometimes no longer easily reach their feet. Therefore, the elderly and people in need of care are professionally cared for by a pedicurist. If the feet are treated for medical reasons, medical foot care is used.
Instruments such as scalpels, pliers, drills and grinders are used (which have very high speeds of 40,000 turns and are very effective for demanding handling) but also ointments, tinctures and disinfectants.
Medical pedicure combines cosmetic and health aspects, both in the care and in the preventive prevention of foot disease.
Medical pedicure procedure
- History and findings – detailed examination of the foot and palpation required
- Foot bath – used to cleanse and soften the skin of the feet, has a relaxing effect and lasts about 5 minutes
- Hard skin removal (hyperkeratosis) – a hard skin is removed with a scalpel if necessary, additional softening agents are used.
- Nail shortening – shortening is performed carefully and in accordance with the correct nail design

We also advise on solving foot problems in everyday life, for example on questions such as: What should I pay attention to when choosing shoes? What is important for regular foot care at home?
