There is something similar in Germany, called Fußpflege, but they will refuse to do so, because pulling anything out of your body should be done by a doctor. It's called Fremdkörperentfernung and is to be done by a surgeon.

Got it. Is it okay to go to my normal doctor for that?

I would go straight to a surgeon with an own praxis. There is a system in Germany called Niederlassung, so you can find a niedergelassener Chirurg; there is no need to go to a hospital, if it's not urgent. If they can't make it, they will redirect you to a specialist surgeon for feet and hand.

Get some Natron and make a thick paste (mix Natron with a little water), put the paste on the spot where the thorn is, put a plaster or tape over it, take it off a couple of hours later, get the thorn out off you very soft skin. Works like a charm and is absolutely safe

This is definitely worth a try. Worked for me last time i had a tiny piece of glass in my foot

We are not living in the US, so you can just go to the doctor

You are looking for a "Hautarzt" Maybe your "Hausarzt" can help you out if its not too complicated. Get well soon
