What Is Routine Care?

Regardless of your age, profession, interests or lifestyle, adequate foot care should be a key component of your routine. Not only do well-cared feet reduce the risk of infections, viruses such as verrucas or painful conditions like an ingrown toenail, but they also contribute towards improving comfort, mobility and confidence. Ensuring that you have healthy feet will enable you to continue much-loved activities without any form of foot-related discomfort.

Those who have limited mobility or merely aim to keep their feet in pristine condition would most definitely benefit from a regular visit to a podiatrist for a routine care appointment. Others may have been recommended by a medical professional to allocate time for routine care with a podiatrist after suffering from a condition. For instance, those who have recently cleared a painful ingrown toenail may opt for routine care appointments to avoid the issue from reoccurring. During sessions, your dedicated podiatrist will complete tasks such as toenail cutting, hard skin removal, and flattening of cracked heels; all of which will contribute towards happy, healthy feet!

Tips On Routine Foot Care

There are a plethora of easy-to-follow top tips that can contribute to maintaining healthy feet. Not only can tasks be completed by a specialist podiatrist, but also from the comfort of your home; all it takes is a few lifestyle changes. As a routine rule, the feet should be cleaned daily in warm, soapy water and thoroughly dried to avoid fungal infections – remember, viruses thrive in warm, moist environments. It is also imperative to ensure that all shoes and socks fit well and do not squeeze the feet too tightly.
