The term designates a specialized foot care service designed for individuals with diabetes, typically offered within a proximate geographic radius to the searcher. It combines standard pedicure practices with specific protocols to accommodate the unique needs of diabetic patients, mitigating risks associated with compromised circulation and nerve damage.
The value of such specialized care lies in its preventative approach to foot complications, a major concern for those managing diabetes.
