Put Your Feet First!
Medical Foot care is a specialized area of healthcare that
focuses on the health and hygiene of the feet.
Every Foot Matters
Medical foot care is tailored towards the individual
foot care needs and adheres to strict standards to prevent
the spread of infections. Medical foot care is particularly
beneficial to those individuals with complex health
conditions including diabetes, circulation issues, etc. as
foot care can improve foot health long-term and prevent
complications and hospital stays.
Why a Nurse?
As we age, our feet require extra care to stay healthy and comfortable. Neglecting foot care can lead to pain, mobility issues, and even serious infections. For seniors, especially those with limited mobility and complex health problems, proper foot care is essential — and this is where a foot care nurse plays a vital role. Foot Care Nurses make sure the small things don’t turn into BIG problems.
Circulation and Neuropathy
Circulation issues in your lower legs and feet result in decreased blood flow to the extremities, which can increase the risk of infection, ulcers and delay healing in any problems that may come up. Neuropathy is damage to the nerve network we have throughout our extremities and can often come with a diagnosis of diabetes. Having an advanced foot care nurse along for your journey can be very helpful.
