Geriatric Foot Care
As we age, our feet undergo natural changes such as thinning skin, decreased circulation, and reduced flexibility. These changes make older adults more vulnerable to foot problems, which can significantly affect mobility and quality of life. Geriatric foot care at In Motion Foot and Ankle focuses on both treatment and prevention.
Common conditions among seniors include arthritis, bunions, hammertoes, corns, calluses, and toenail disorders. Additionally, age-related circulation problems can slow healing and increase the risk of infection.
At our clinic, we provide comprehensive exams to identify potential concerns early. Services include routine nail care, callus removal, vascular testing, and diabetic foot care when necessary.
We emphasize preventive strategies such as supportive footwear, regular foot checks, and maintaining good skin care. By addressing small issues promptly, we help prevent more serious complications.
In Motion Foot and Ankle is dedicated to supporting senior patients with compassionate, thorough care that helps them remain active, safe, and independent.
