While both leave your feet feeling better, nursing foot care and a pedicure are very different services:

👩‍⚕️ Foot Care by a Nurse

• Provided by a licensed nurse with medical training

• Focuses on health, prevention, and treatment

• Helps with issues like thick nails, corns, calluses, fungal nails, cracked heels, and ingrown nails

• Follows strict infection control standards

• Ideal for people with diabetes, circulation issues, or immune conditions

💅 Pedicure at a Salon

• A cosmetic service focused on appearance

• Includes soaking, scrubbing, polish, and massage

• Not trained to treat medical foot conditions

• Tools may not meet medical sterilization standards

• Not always safe for high-risk feet (like those with diabetes)

At Becky’s Foot Care, your comfort and safety come first! Here’s what you can expect during your visit.

🦶 Assessment
We start by checking your feet for any concerns—like thick nails, calluses, corns, cracks, or signs of infection. I also check skin condition, circulation, and any areas of pain or pressure.

🧼 Gentle Cleaning
Your feet are cleaned using alcohol (no soaking needed!) to reduce bacteria and prep the skin.

🧰 Nail & Skin Care
I carefully trim and file toenails—even thick or hard-to-cut ones—and reduce corns, calluses, and dry or cracked skin using medical tools.

💬 Education & Advice
I’ll let you know what I’m seeing and share tips to help you care for your feet at home. If needed, I may recommend products or refer you to your doctor.

🧴 Finishing Touches
I apply a moisturizer and make sure your feet feel comfortable, clean, and cared for.

Most clients benefit from professional foot care every 6 to 8 weeks. However, individuals with diabetes, poor circulation, fungal nails, or other foot concerns may require more frequent visits based on their needs.

I treat ingrown toenails by carefully trimming out the offending edge to relieve pressure and prevent further irritation. I will also provide education on ingrown nail prevention and at home maintenance. If needed, I can also apply an ingrown nail brace, a painless, non-invasive solution that helps guide the nail into a natural, healthy growth pattern over time. This method is ideal for clients who want to avoid more invasive procedures.

Yes. Our nurses can safely trim, reduce, and manage thick fungal toenails to improve comfort and help prevent complications. We may also recommend appropriate products and encourage follow-up with your healthcare provider for diagnosis and treatment options.

Unfortunately foot Care is not covered by OHIP however many extended health benefits and insurance plans cover foot care provided by a Registered Nurse (RN). I’ll provide a detailed receipt for reimbursement, but I always recommend checking with your provider in advance to confirm what’s required.

📌 Note for Canada Life clients: A doctor’s note is typically required for home visits in order for your claim to be accepted.

🎖️ Veterans Affairs (VAC): I can direct bill to Veterans Affairs Canada for those with a valid K Number.

If you have any questions about coverage, I’m happy to help guide you!

Absolutely! At Becky’s Foot Care, I take your health seriously. That’s why I follow the highest level of sterilization protocols—the same standards used in dental offices and hospital operating rooms.

🧼 All instruments are 100% disinfected using an autoclave, which kills all bacteria, viruses, and spores.
📋 I strictly follow Public Health Ontario’s IPAC Checklist for reprocessing medical equipment.
🕒 I maintain detailed records of every sterilization cycle and stay up to date with the latest infection prevention guidelines.

When you visit, you can trust that your foot care is not only effective—but also safe, clean, and professionally managed.

Yes! All of our nurses are fully insured with professional malpractice liability coverage through the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO). You can feel confident knowing you’re in safe, qualified hands.
