Do I Need a Foot Care Nurse?

When to Contact a Foot Care Nurse

Often feet issues are one of the early warning signs of more serious conditions, not to mention a severe impediment when it comes to living an active healthy lifestyle — that’s why it’s important you seek medical attention at the first sign of a problem.

There are a number of different reasons why someone may decide to call a foot care nurse, such as:

• They’re struggling to manage their own nail care
• They’re recovering from surgery or an accident
• Sight problems are making nail care difficult
• They no longer have the dexterity required to manage their own nails 
• If you are recovering from surgery or a fall and need support
• They need fast and reliable treatment for warts, corns, or callouses
• They have conditions such as diabetes, dementia, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease, which require a professional to administer nail care
• They have dementia or other special needs—here at Digits we have extensive experience in helping these clients
