Nursing Foot Care
What is a Foot Care Nurse?
Nursing foot care is a specialized service provided by a nurse who has graduated from a recognized nursing program and holds a current active practicing license with the British Columbia College of Nursing Professionals.
The qualified nurse has pursued further education to offer comprehensive foot care, including medical foot care services, ensuring that all procedures adhere to strict infection-control protocols and use sterile tools.
Do you suffer from:
- Diabetes
- Arthritis
- Athlete's foot
- Ingrown toenails
- Fungal toenails
- dry or cracked heels
- corns
- calluses
- thickened and discolored nails
- overlapped toes
- hammer toes
This is especially true for those unable to assess and perform their own foot care, including people with dementia, Parkinson's, disabilities, and various mental health conditions.
If you find yourself saying YES to any of the above issues, I can assist you with your feet.
Let's ensure your feet are well cared for at a Vancouver foot service you can trust.

Before application, it's important to remove all nail polish, shellac, and artificial nails.
