What is podiatry care?
Pedicurezorg focuses on keeping feet healthy. A medical pedicurist provides professional foot care for skin and nail problems and helps to prevent foot wounds and other complications as much as possible in people at increased risk of them.
What does a medical pedicurist do?
A medical pedicurist specialises in the care and treatment of high-risk feet and complex foot problems. During a treatment session, we assess the condition of your feet and determine what care is required at that time.
During the treatment, the chiropodist checks your feet carefully and identifies any changes that require extra attention. This often allows problems to be recognised at an early stage.
The medical pedicurist treats, amongst other things:
- calluses, corns and cracked skin;
- thickened or fungal nails;
- ingrown toenails;
- pressure points that can lead to foot ulcers;
- nail and skin problems that require extra attention;
In addition, the chiropodist will advise you on the daily care of your feet and how you can prevent problems as far as possible.

Areas of focus within podiatry care
Every foot is different. That is why we tailor the treatment to your health, your feet and your personal circumstances. At Rondom Pedicures, we have extensive experience in treating various high-risk groups.
Our medical pedicurists offer, amongst other things:
- Chiropody care at diabetes: aimed at keeping feet healthy and reducing the risk of foot wounds and other complications.
- Chiropody care at rheumatism: Focused on treating foot and nail problems that may arise due to changes in your joints or the alignment of your feet.
- Chiropody care at cancer: support during and after treatment when the skin and nails have become more sensitive or fragile as a result of cancer treatment.
Which treatment is best for you depends on your situation and any medical conditions you may have. Together, we will assess which pedicure treatment is most suitable.
Collaboration with other healthcare providers
Sometimes, good foot care involves more than just treatment by a medical pedicurist. That is why, where necessary, we work together with other healthcare professionals from Rondom.
Depending on your situation, this could be, for example, a podiatrist, physiotherapist, occupational therapist or another healthcare provider. By working together, we can spot changes in the condition of your feet in good time and tailor your care to your needs. In this way, we keep your feet as healthy as possible and help you to continue walking and moving comfortably.
