What is Geriatric Foot Care and Why Is It Important?
Foot care for seniors is a vital part of maintaining overall health, mobility, and independence. As we age, the feet undergo changes in skin texture, circulation, bone structure, and nerve sensitivity. Geriatric foot care addresses the unique needs of older adults by treating common foot conditions in seniors like thick toenails, corns, calluses, bunions, arthritis-related foot pain, and diabetic foot conditions.
Ignoring these issues can lead to complications such as diabetic neuropathy, poor circulation, and even loss of balance or mobility. That’s why senior foot health should be a top priority in elder care.
Foot Pain in Seniors: Common Causes & How I Help
Do you experience discomfort when walking or standing? Many seniors silently suffer from chronic foot pain caused by conditions like arthritis, hammertoes, bunions, or corns and calluses. This pain often leads to reduced activity, social isolation, and a lower quality of life.
