Consultation and Assessment
Professional foot care begins with a thorough nursing assessment of the client’s feet and lower limbs that includes a health questionnaire, biomechanical exam, and visual inspection. Our Podortho™ Foot Specialists are trained in Advanced Diabetic Foot Care and wound care; we can care for specific foot care problems such as corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, thickened and hard to cut nails, cracked heels, and fungal nails. After assessing your feet, we will design a personalized foot care program specific to your needs. We can also offer suggestions for keeping your feet more comfortable between visits.
The Importance of Regular Foot Care Treatments
Be kind to your feet. Years of wear and tear can be hard on them. So can disease, bad circulation, poorly trimmed toenails, and wearing shoes that don’t fit. Foot problems are sometimes the first sign of more serious medical conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and nerve or circulatory disorders. Regular maintenance foot care treatments can prevent serious complications. Depending on your foot condition, we see patients anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks apart.
Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions can foot and lower-limb care help with?
Assessment and treatment may be available for:
Foot, heel, ankle, or lower-leg pain
Corns, calluses, cracked skin, and ingrown toenails
Diabetic foot concerns
Wounds and ulcers
Swelling or circulation concerns

When should I arrange an appointment?
Seek an assessment if pain persists, affects walking, repeatedly returns, or is accompanied by swelling, numbness, skin changes, a wound, or signs of infection. Earlier assessment is especially important if you have diabetes, reduced sensation, or poor circulation.
How should I care for my feet at home?
Wash your feet daily in warm—not hot—water and dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes. Moisturize dry skin, but avoid applying lotion between the toes. Wear clean socks and properly fitting shoes, and check footwear for stones or rough areas before putting it on.
