Do I need a reference?

Yes. For medical foot care for diabetes, you will need a referral from your GP or specialist. The podiatrist will examine your feet and draw up a personalised treatment plan.

Is chiropody covered by the NHS?

Are you eligible for medical foot care? If so, the treatments included in your treatment plan will be fully covered by your basic health insurance.

What is medical foot care?

Health insurers only reimburse foot care that is medically necessary to help prevent foot injuries. The podiatrist determines which care falls under this category, for example in the case of high-risk calluses, corns or ingrown toenails. General foot care, such as trimming healthy nails, is not covered by this reimbursement. Would you still like to have this done? If so, you will need to pay an additional fee yourself. You always have the choice between medically necessary foot care only or a full foot treatment.

How often do I need to attend for treatment?

That varies from person to person. The podiatrist determines how often treatment is needed. This is set out in your treatment plan.

Can I visit even if I don’t have any complaints?

Yes. With diabetes in particular, it is important to have your feet checked regularly. This allows any changes to be detected early and helps to prevent foot ulcers as far as possible.

Does the medical pedicurist treat my whole foot?

Do you receive medical foot care covered by your basic health insurance? In that case, the medical pedicurist will treat the high-risk areas included in your treatment plan. Would you also like a full foot treatment? This is available for an additional fee.

Foot care for people with diabetes

Rondom Pedicures offers specialised foot care to people with diabetes. Diabetes can affect the health of your feet. Due to changes in blood circulation or sensation in your feet, you may be less likely to notice pressure points or early signs of damage. This increases the risk of foot ulcers.

A medical pedicurist helps to keep your feet healthy. We check your feet regularly and look out for any changes. In this way, we help to prevent foot wounds as much as possible.

What do we offer?
Our medical pedicurists provide foot care tailored to people with diabetes. During every treatment, we check the condition of your skin and nails and look out for any changes that require extra attention.
Depending on your situation, treatment may include, amongst other things:
- the treatment of calluses, corns and cracked skin;
- the treatment of ingrown, thickened or abnormal nails;
- the reduction of pressure sores;
- checking your feet for changes and areas of risk;
- advice on daily foot care and suitable footwear.
Who is this offer intended for?
Foot care for people with diabetes is intended for those with diabetes who need extra attention for their feet. This may be because you are experiencing symptoms, but also to prevent foot wounds as far as possible.
Has your podiatrist drawn up a treatment plan for you? If so, the medical pedicurist will carry out the treatments included in that plan.
A medical pedicurist can help you if you:
- has diabetes;
- is at increased risk of foot ulcers;
- you experience a loss of sensation in your feet;
- suffers from calluses, cracked skin or pressure sores;

- if you want to have your feet checked regularly.
