Foot Pain
“Don’t Let Painful Feet De-Feet You!”
As we age, so do our feet, and problems with feet in old age can be one of the main reason that you are kept off your feet. Common foot problems can include impaired circulation (hot feet/cold feet), muscle weakness, pain from bunions, hammer toes, nail problems and issues with balance and gait.
Don’t let foot problems immobilise you, get them checked regularly at Healthy Steps Podiatry where our expertly trained podiatrists will thoroughly examine them and work alongside you and any other specialists involved with your health care to keep them healthy and in great shape. After all, you will be relying on them to support you in the activities you still to enjoy.
Remember – foot pain is not normal!
- Make sure that your shoes fit well, and are comfortable and supportive.
- Check the fitting of your shoes often as your feet may increase in size as you get older.
- Check the length and the width of your shoes to ensure there is enough room for toe movement.
- Put your feet up and give them a rest every so often to help with circulation.
- Keep your feet moisturised and your nails properly cut.
- Live a healthy lifestyle and keep active as much as possible.
