Pedicures – More Than Just Pretty Feet
Between standing on your feet all day in the kitchen or dashing from store to store, this week can be tiring on your feet. Give them and yourself a little love with a pedicure. Your feet will feel smooth, look great, and showcase a stunning winter polish. Pedicures however, can do more than just make your feet look pretty. They can be very helpful to those with foot pain.
According to the Arthritis Foundation, regular pedicures can improve circulation, reduce tension, and reduce pain. It can be especially helpful for people who are affected by diabetic and arthritic foot pain. If this is the case you should consult with your doctor prior to your appointment as well as the pedicure specialist to see what options will benefit you the most.
Pedicures can also be a great asset to all you runners out there. Whether you are running marathons or are constantly pounding away on the treadmill, your feet could be suffering. Regular pedicures are great to keep your toe nails at a healthy length so they don’t rub against your sneaker, help with nagging calluses, and keep the skin soft. According to RunnersWorld.com, they suggest going to a qualified Medispa as opposed to getting a pedicure by a podiatrist. You will probably pay less and get a more thorough treatment if you can find a well-trained pedicurist operating out of a health spa.
Essentials, a five star Medispa offers several different types of pedicures as well as beneficial add-on treatments for everyone, including a paraffin wax treatment. This unique treatment helps with foot pain by trapping heat near the skin, which penetrates stiff and sore joints. According to LiveStrong.com, the warmth of the paraffin wax improves circulation to the feet. The wax and mineral oil softens rough skin, making it an ideal preliminary to a pedicure or a relaxing treatment for those who work on their feet for long periods. It is also used as a therapeutic treatment for arthritis, muscular pain or joint sprains.
