No, though they do share the main primary goal — keeping your lower extremities healthy, functional, and free from infection.

A Certified Foot Care Specialist (CFCS) is an advanced healthcare professional with specialized education and clinical expertise in the assessment, prevention, and management of foot and lower extremity conditions. As an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN), a CFCS provides comprehensive foot evaluations, diabetic foot risk assessments, preventive foot care, nail and skin care, wound care treatment and management, as well as early identification and management of conditions that may lead to complications. This specialized training supports the prevention of foot ulcers, infection, and lower extremity complications while promoting overall foot health and mobility.

In contrast, a Podiatrist (DPM) is a medical physician specializing in the maintenance of complex foot and ankle disorders. Podiatrists provide both nonsurgical and surgical treatment, including care for injuries/fractures, deformities, and complex structural issues of the foot and ankle with a goal to improve mobility and function.

Both professionals play important roles in your overall foot health. Collaboration between these providers can help ensure patients receive the appropriate level of care throughout their healthcare journey.

Regular foot and nail care helps to detect problems early, prevent complications, and keeps your feet healthy! Routine exams, professional nail care and prompt treatment of wounds on the feet can reduce the risk of infection, hospitalization and, in severe cases, amputations.

Diabetics and those with Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) can have reduced blood flow and damage to the nerves in the feet, making it harder to feel pain, pressure, or injuries. Even a small cut, blister, or ingrown toenail can develop into a serious infection or slow-healing wound if left untreated.
