Nail & Skin Care Maintenance

As we age, our skin and nails undergo changes, leading to factors such as:

• Thick and hard nails
• Less elasticity in our skin
• Less fatty pad cushioning in the balls and heel of our feet

These circumstances can lead to increased risk of calluses and corns, as well as new foot pain in some people. Combined with lessened dexterity and mobility, this makes it much harder for the elderly to properly maintain their foot health.

Therefore, it’s important to see a podiatrist who is able to identify these issues and help you form a tailored treatment plan to keep you pain free and walking normally!
