We spend a lot of time on our feet – for some people, it’s most of the day. However, when looking after them, our feet often get neglected. Failure to care for the feet can lead to painful, long-lasting issues such as nail disorders, corns, calluses, and dry, cracked skin. Fortunately, with expert foot care, these issues can be treated so you can get back on your feet.
Pigari Spa offers some of the most specialized foot care treatments in Vancouver. The owner, Kelly Pigari, is a certified Medical Pedicure (Podology) known across the city for her outstanding foot treatments. Her clients can attest to her ability to recognize and treat many issues.
What is a Medical Pedicure (Podology)?
An expert in foot care, like the qualified Medical Pedicure (Podology) at Pigari Spa, can provide treatments no one else can. They learn about all areas of the foot and how to treat skin and toenail conditions.
Medical Pedicure is a master of pedicure who is trained in the latest techniques used by foot and healthcare experts. This includes how to use pedicurist instruments and burs most efficiently. In addition, their education covers advanced specialty treatments and techniques used for seniors and diabetics.
A podiatrist would not typically provide the services a foot care expert can offer. Medical professionals can treat serious injuries or illnesses in the feet, but a medical pedicure looks after the overall health of the feet.
What conditions can they treat?
The specialists at Pigari Spa can treat issues such as onychophosis (build-up skin on the lateral of nail fold), onychocryptosis (ingrown toenails), overly thick toenails, calluses, corns, warts, and fungal issues.
It is not always easy to tell what is causing foot problems. If you are suffering from pain or discomfort in a specific area, speaking to an expert in foot care is a good idea. They can diagnose the problem or tell you when to see a doctor if it is more serious. So, if you are experiencing any pain, peeling skin, abnormal growths, cuts or cracks, dry or dead skin, and infected or thick toenails, contact Pigari Spa for assistance.
Keeping active
Vancouver is home to some of the best hiking in the world. While it’s a great way to keep fit and active, walking or running for an extended period can lead to issues such as calluses, dried skin and nail injuries. If left untreated, they can become more serious and prevent you from enjoying the outdoors.
With that in mind, Pigari Spa offers treatments designed to help hikers and runners recover.
Give your feet some love
While the staff at Pigari Spa is trained to treat a range of conditions, they can also help pamper your feet. A noninvasive foot massage or reflexology is an excellent way to relax and relieve stress, especially if your feet have been working overtime.
If you want your feet to look their best, we also offer treatments that combine foot care and pedicure to improve the look of toenails.
