It is very important to take care of your feet, especially as you age, but that is not always easy for a variety of reasons. Heather, from fundamental Foot Care, discusses how you can better care for your feet.
Heather Fogg, a registered nurse and a certified foot care specialist, answers some of the frequently asked questions that she gets from seniors about foot care.
Our goal is foot injury prevention. By taking advantage of our services, you can reduce the risk of:
Loss of feeling and/or sensation from neuropathy can disguise the pain of a brewing infection. Without proper routine care, too many older adults end up being hospitalized for a diabetic ulcer, infection, fall, or broken bone, that could have been prevented with routine care, and assessment. Chronic wounds that won't heal can also lead to the amputation of toes, feet, and lower limbs.
The older we get, the better we have to take care of our feet. Arthritis, corns, pain and calluses can cause us to have an uneven gait. It may be difficult for you to care for your own feet now that you're older. Come to us for compassionate foot care services. We want to make sure your foot injury prevention plan is firmly in place. Reach out to us to make an appointment.
