Foot Health
Advanced Nursing Foot Care & Education
Healed Sole provides assessment-focused foot care for clients of all ages, with a special focus on prevention, early intervention and helping you understand your foot health.
More Than Nail Care
Your feet can tell us a lot about your overall health.
Foot care nursing combines a nursing assessment with treatment, prevention and education. Your appointment may include assessment of your skin, nails, circulation, sensation, footwear and individual risk factors—not simply cutting toenails.
Services include:
• Routine and advanced nursing foot care
• Diabetic and high-risk foot assessment
• Corn and callus care
• Thickened and fungal-prone nails
• Ingrown and involuted nails
• Onyfix® nail bracing
• Footwear assessment and foot tracing
• Pressure relief and offloading
• Foot health education
• Referrals to other members of your healthcare team when needed
Your goal isn't simply to come back for another appointment.
My goal is to give you the care, education and tools you need to keep your feet as healthy as possible.
