As we age, our feet undergo natural changes that can affect mobility, balance, and overall quality of life. At Our Clinic, we understand the unique foot care needs of older adults and are dedicated to providing comprehensive geriatric foot care services to help our senior patients maintain healthy, active lifestyles.
The feet are a vital part of mobility and independence, especially for older adults. However, aging can bring about a variety of foot-related issues, including:
Decreased circulation
Reduced skin elasticity
Thinning of the fat pads on the soles of the feet
Weakening of muscles and ligaments
Development of foot deformities such as bunions, hammertoes, and arthritis
These changes can lead to foot pain, discomfort, and an increased risk of falls and other injuries. That’s why proper foot care is essential for maintaining mobility and preventing complications in older adults.
At Our Clinic, we offer a range of geriatric foot care services tailored to the specific needs of older adults. Our experienced podiatrists and healthcare professionals provide:
Routine foot exams to assess skin integrity, circulation, sensation, and biomechanics
Treatment of common foot problems such as corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, and fungal infections
Customized orthotics and footwear recommendations to provide support, stability, and pressure relief
Management of foot conditions associated with chronic diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, and peripheral neuropathy
Fall risk assessments and prevention strategies to reduce the risk of falls and related injuries
Education on proper foot hygiene, self-care techniques, and preventive measures for maintaining foot health
At Our Clinic, we take a patient-centered approach to geriatric foot care, focusing on the individual needs, preferences, and goals of each older adult patient. We understand the importance of preserving independence and quality of life as we age, and we are committed to helping our senior patients achieve optimal foot health and mobility.
