Why is foot care for Seniors so crucial?
Proper, regular foot care helps insure that you or your loved one retains independence, activity, comfort and mobility, and overall vitality. Routine care can also prevent a variety of uncomfortable, potentially dangerous conditions, such as skin ulcers, ingrown toenails, fungal infections, other discomforts associated with elongated, misshapen nails
Did you know......
Swollen, painful feet and ankles can be an indicator of poor blood supply to feet, and of congested, swollen veins? If left untreated, this could lead to ulceration and skin breakdown.
Abnormal blisters or calluses on your feet, along with decreased sensitivity, numbness, and poor skin tone can be indicators of diabetes?
Don’t let the onset of these conditions be overlooked until the problem is serious! When receiving routine foot care, these conditions can be detected early and treated before other complications arise.
Be You!
Calluses lead to cracked skin, which creates an opportunity for infection to occur.
By avoiding an infection to your foot, you will avoid the high cost and dreadful experience of an ambulance trip to the hospital. Besides being costly and debilitating, foot infections can be painful and quite slow to heal. This does not have to be the case with you. Routine footcare can prevent this nightmare......Let Dr. Pabst come to you!
