YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Straightforward information to help you plan your care.

What thick toenail care does FootPrints provide?

FootPrints offers assessment and reduction of thickened toenails during mobile visits in Winnipeg.

The nurse determines suitable care and whether further assessment is needed.

Can difficult thick toenails be assessed at home?

FootPrints offers mobile assessment and care for thickened nails that clients find difficult to manage.

Describe the concern when booking; not every nail problem can necessarily be managed during a visit.

Does a thick toenail always mean fungus?

A thickened toenail alone does not establish a fungal diagnosis.

FootPrints describes thickened and fungal-appearing nail reduction; diagnosis and additional treatment require appropriate assessment.

How does nail reduction differ from trimming?

Nail reduction addresses excess nail thickness, while routine trimming addresses nail length.

FootPrints determines the appropriate approach after assessing the nails.

Can someone with diabetes receive thick-nail care?

A client with diabetes should discuss that history before thick-nail care so the nurse can assess the appropriate approach.

The service does not replace broader diabetes care or medical assessment.

Will thickened nail care permanently change my nails?

FootPrints does not promise that reduction permanently changes a thickened nail or resolves its cause.

Discuss the purpose of the proposed care and the plan for a continuing concern.

How should I prepare for thickened toenail care?

Before thickened toenail care, have your medication and allergy information and questions ready for the nurse.

Ask for any preparation instructions specific to your needs rather than assuming a routine from another treatment applies.

What should I do on the day of thickened toenail care?

On the day of thickened toenail care, follow the instructions given for the care you received.

Washing, products, dressings and activity advice depend on the assessment; a universal routine is not prescribed here.

What should I watch for in the week after thickened toenail care?

During the week after thickened toenail care, follow the agreed plan and raise new or continuing concerns with the appropriate healthcare professional.

The first-week label is a check-in point, not a seven-day recovery promise.

When should I arrange follow-up for thickened toenail care?

Follow-up for thickened toenail care should be agreed with the nurse based on assessment and continuing needs.

Do not wait for a two-week website checkpoint to seek advice about a new concern.

How much does thickened toenail care cost at FootPrints?

FootPrints lists an initial footcare visit at CAD100 and a follow-up at CAD70.

Discuss the service you need when booking and confirm any price variation related to location or care needs.
