The Significance of Foot Care for the Elderly
As individuals age, their feet undergo various changes that can lead to discomfort, pain, and impaired mobility. It's essential to recognize the significance of geriatric foot care, as it plays a crucial role in maintaining mobility, preventing falls, and overall quality of life for the elderly.

Our expert podiatrists work closely with each patient, creating tailored treatment plans that promote comfort, stability, and mobility in their daily lives.
Elderly Foot Conditions: Understanding and Treating
The elderly population often experiences specific foot conditions due to factors such as reduced circulation, thinning skin, and age-related changes. Some common foot conditions among the elderly include:
- Arthritis: A degenerative condition that affects the joints, causing pain and stiffness.
- Corns and Calluses: Thickened areas of skin caused by repeated pressure or friction.
- Bunions: Deformities of the joint at the base of the big toe, causing pain and difficulty wearing regular footwear.
- Ingrown Toenails: Nails that grow into the surrounding skin, resulting in pain, swelling, and infection.
- Plantar Fasciitis: Inflammation of the tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes, leading to heel pain.
Our experienced podiatrists at The Foot Practice are equipped with the knowledge and expertise to accurately diagnose and treat these and other foot-related conditions commonly found in the elderly.
