Foot Care for Seniors
As we age, our feet require extra attention and care. Proper foot care is particularly crucial for seniors, as it directly impacts their overall health and well-being. At The Foot Practice, we understand the unique needs of senior individuals when it comes to foot care. Our team of experienced podiatrists specializes in providing exceptional services to seniors, ensuring they can continue to live an active and independent lifestyle.
The Importance of Foot Care for Seniors
Senior individuals often face various foot-related problems due to factors such as decreased circulation, loss of muscle mass, and the natural wear and tear that comes with age. Neglecting foot care can lead to discomfort, pain, and even mobility issues, affecting their quality of life. It is crucial to prioritize foot care for seniors to prevent or manage potential complications.
Foot problems in seniors can include:
- Bunions and hammertoes
- Corns and calluses
- Ingrown toenails
- Foot and ankle arthritis
- Heel pain and plantar fasciitis
- Balance and gait issues
- Diabetic foot complications
By taking proactive measures and seeking professional podiatry services, seniors can prevent, manage, and treat these foot conditions effectively.

To alleviate foot pain and improve mobility, our podiatrists may recommend custom orthotics. These are specially designed shoe inserts that provide support, stability, and enhance foot function. Custom orthotics are essential for seniors to reduce discomfort and prevent further foot complications.
