I need a salon for pedicures that specializes is working on folks with diabetes.?


The Northwest part of town would be great but I would be willing to drive, say, 10-15 miles for a good one. Thanks

I have no idea where you live...but couldn't help you with your answer anyway. I don't know of any salon that specializes in diabetic pedicures...it doesn't exist. The liability would be too high because of the problems diabetics have with their feet. To imply that they specialize would set them up for lawsuits when some little scratch caused an infection and ultimately amputation or death from infection. A podiatrist, medical doctor, is the only option when it comes to specializing. They can clip and file your toenails but I don't think you'll get a nice foot massage or polish. ;)
If you don't have neuropathy or any signs of circulation problems and have spoken to your doctor, you can go to a reputable salon. Take your own clean implements and don't let them use things like callus removers or anything that might cause irritation or cuts, just to be on the safe side.
HUMMMMM. I thought that only Podiatrist were specialist in Diabetic foot care? Maybe not. But I'd make sure they approved before I went or call and ask them to tell you if they reccomend someone. Good luck.
I would go with a more high end salon not one of these cheap walk in places. I would avoid them if I wasn't a diabetic. As long as your feet are in great health free of any problems you should be okay and make sure you let them know you are diabetic. If thats all you are looking for is just a pedicure that should be okay. I am a type 1 diabetic and have had no problems witth me feet I take great care of them and from time to time get a pedicue at a local high end day spa in my area. It runs about 40.00.
