Foot care for elderly people

As we age, the skin and nails on our feet become drier, thinner, and more vulnerable. Blood circulation slows down, sensitivity decreases, and vision and mobility often decline—making it difficult for elderly individuals to care for their feet on their own. Improperly trimmed nails, dryness, cracks, corns, fungal infections, and ingrown toenails can all lead to pain, inflammation, and serious complications, potentially even limiting mobility.

How the procedure is performed:

A medically trained specialist provides gentle and thorough comprehensive foot care:

Examination of the feet and nails, assessment of skin condition and identification of issues (such as calluses, corns, cracks, or deformities)
Careful trimming and smoothing of nails, including thickened or misshapen ones
Safe removal of corns, calluses, and hardened skin using professional equipment
Treatment of cracks, including the application of healing and moisturizing products if needed
Care for signs of fungal infections or inflammation
Personalized recommendations for footwear, socks, at-home care, and visit frequency

Benefits of the procedure:

For many, it’s important to know how comfortable the procedure will be and how quickly they can return to everyday life.

Painless, gentle, and safe
Prevention of age-related complications
Suitable for chronic conditions (diabetes, varicose veins, arthritis)

Essential care often lacking in elderly home routines

IF NECESSARY — MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS WITH DIABETES, VARICOSE VEINS, ARTHRITIS, AND OTHER CHRONIC CONDITIONS (TAKING INTO ACCOUNT CONTRAINDICATIONS AND INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS).

How the problem is solved:
Regular professional foot care helps maintain foot health, prevent inflammation, cracks, and pain, supports mobility, and improves the overall quality of life for elderly individuals.
