Professional Foot Care For Thickened, Damaged and Difficult Toenails
Podiatrists treat many people who, for one reason or another, simply cannot manage their own toenails and general foot care. In fact, about 50% of all the people that see a podiatrist require general foot care and toenail management.
Lack of flexibility as a result of arthritis in the hips, knees, back or hands, joint replacement surgery or an increase in weight can all result in someone being unable to manage their own basic foot care.
No one should ever be embarrassed about seeing a podiatrist about management of their foot care. Podiatrist have all the instruments available for them to be able to manage any foot or lower limb condition
Foot Care for the Elderly
As we age, regular foot care becomes increasingly important for maintaining comfort, mobility and independence. Thickened toenails, reduced flexibility, circulation issues, dry skin and difficulty reaching the feet can make routine nail care challenging and increase the risk of pain, infection and falls. At Galleria Podiatry, we provide gentle and professional elderly foot care including toenail trimming, corn and callus care, diabetic foot assessments and ongoing foot health support to help patients stay active and comfortable.
How we treat Unmanageable Toenails
Our podiatrists have all the correct instruments at our disposal to treat all toenail conditions including (but not limited to) difficult and thickened nails as a result of trauma or fungal infection, deformed toenails, separation of the toenail from the nail bed, or inflammation around the nail.
Many people, for a variety of different reasons, are no longer able to bend to reach their feet, making cutting their toenails extremely difficult or even painful. These people comprise about 50% of the patients Galleria Podiatry sees every single day. We are always more than happy to assist you with this task, therefore maintain your foot health and keeping you pain free.
