Hi there, my name is Michelle Dryden, I am a foot care nurse serving the Brandon, Manitoba area.
Your feet are the foundation your body rests on - maintenance and care to that foundation is important.
Why choose a Foot Care Nurse?
Many seniors find taking care of their own feet difficult, due to mobility issues, loss of strength in their hands and declining eye-sight. People living with diabetes and other high-risk conditions require extra care because they are at elevated risk of severe complications.
As a foot care nurse, I have received specialized training in basic, diabetic and high-risk foot care.
- All foot care instruments are sterilized in a medical grade steam autoclave following the Infection Prevention and Control Canada recommendations for reprocessing of critical foot care devices.
- On your initial visit, I will gather your health information and perform a comprehensive foot care exam (including lower legs) to identify any ‘areas of concern’ and identify if you are at an increased risk of foot complications.
- Together we will develop a foot care plan to address any foot health concerns and set appropriate goals for your care. If required, I can make referrals to other members of your health care team to ensure you have your best possible foot forward.
- I am a member of the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Manitoba.
- I am the Vice President of the Manitoba Association of Foot Care Nurses and a member of the Canadian Association of Foot Care Nurses.
