What is Foot and Nail Care?

Foot and nail care in wound care involves specialized medical attention to the feet and toenails to prevent and treat wounds, infections, and other complications—especially in individuals with chronic illnesses, diabetes, poor circulation, or mobility challenges.

It includes careful nail trimming, callus and corn management, skin inspections, and treatment of minor foot injuries to support overall healing and prevent new wounds.

About Foot & Nail Care

  • Prevention of New Wounds: Improper nail trimming or untreated calluses can cause skin breakdown, leading to ulcers.
  • Infection Control: Feet are highly vulnerable to infections, especially when wounds are present. Proper care helps reduce bacterial, fungal, and viral risks.
  • Improved Healing: By reducing pressure points and removing potential irritants, foot and nail care allows existing wounds to heal more efficiently.
  • Early Detection: Regular professional foot checks help identify problems like ingrown toenails, fungal infections, or pressure spots before they become serious.
  • Essential for High-Risk Patients: People with diabetes, peripheral artery disease, or neuropathy may not feel pain from foot injuries—meaning problems can go unnoticed without regular care.
  • Diabetic foot ulcers caused by pressure, friction, or unnoticed injuries
  • Pressure sores on the heels or sides of the feet
  • Venous stasis ulcers from poor circulation in the lower legs
  • Post-surgical wounds on the feet or toes
  • Skin breakdown from fungal infections or ingrown toenails
  • Traumatic wounds from stubbing toes, cuts, or footwear injuries

Foot and nail care is recommended for:

  • Patients with diabetes or neuropathy who are at higher risk for foot wounds
  • Individuals with poor circulation or peripheral artery disease
  • People who have difficulty trimming their own nails safely
  • Those with thick, brittle, or fungal toenails that may injure surrounding skin
  • Patients recovering from foot surgery or injury
  • Anyone with existing foot wounds that require professional maintenance to heal

Pros

  • Reduces risk of infection and wound recurrence
  • Improves comfort and mobility
  • Supports faster wound healing
  • Prevents small problems from becoming serious complications
  • Provides regular professional assessment

Cons

  • Requires routine follow-up appointments
  • May cause mild soreness after callus or nail trimming
  • Insurance coverage may vary depending on medical necessity

Healing Timeline Expectations

  • Preventive Care: Ongoing maintenance every 4–8 weeks to avoid wounds
  • Existing Wounds: Healing can take several weeks to months depending on severity and underlying health conditions
  • Consistent care greatly shortens recovery time and prevents setbacks

Dr. Michael Gitter is the most compassionate and caring doctor I've ever come in contact with… one wound completely closed, the other getting smaller.

Marcus Brown

After only a few UltraMIST treatments, my wounds are healing up fast and I’d say the swelling in my legs has gone down about 75%. And guess what’s the best part: zero pain.
