Foot and Nail Care now offered at St. Charles Wound Clinics! 

Routine foot and nail care by a Certified Foot and Nail Care Nurse (CFCN) has been shown to reduce pain and injuries in the patient population at risk for limb loss. The patients that benefit from this specialty care include those with diabetes, neuropathy, and lower extremity arterial disease. 

Regular foot care can reduce the risk of foot ulcers and infection, reduce the risk of amputations, increase quality of life, and reduce hospitalizations and the cost of care related to diabetic and neuropathic foot ulceration. 

Services provided by our certified foot and nail care nurse include: 

  • Foot assessment and inspection 
  • Vascular assessment 
  • Management of nails and skin 
  • Management of corns and calluses 
  • Patient/Caregiver education 
  • Referral to specialist (podiatry, vascular, diabetic educator, nutrition, surgical) as needed 

To make an appointment at one of our outpatient wound clinics (Bend, Madras or Prineville), please contact your physician to obtain a referral.
