What Is Foot Care?

Foot care is performed by a Registered Nurse (RN) or Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) who has completed specialized training in assessing, treating, and managing conditions affecting the feet. These practitioners are skilled in identifying issues early, preventing complications, and promoting healthier, more comfortable movement.
