Benefits of Foot Care Services

Your feet are one of the most wonderful and most complex working mechanisms in your Healthy Body. Balancing your weight evenly, absorbing its impact every time you take a step, your feet are the only reason that you are able to jog, run, walk and even stand.  As you age and as you gain weight, your feet need extra care and attention so you can continue to stay active and agile. A chiropodist or foot care specialist can help in keeping your feet healthy, happy and pain free.

Common problems & timely foot care

Do you know how intricately and elaborately designed our feet are? A structure of superb balance with some 26 bones, multiple muscles, tendons and ligaments – some quite sturdy and strong – some delicate and fine-looking, your feet do their work every minute – every second. Painful foot conditions can develop over time that can affect the fine quality of your life. This can be avoided easily by seeking the right treatment from a foot care specialist.

Caring for your feet is imperative

When foot problems occur, both the major tasks performed by your feet become disrupted.

• Mobility gets affected due to the ill effects of age, weight gain and debility.
• Supporting your Healthy Body weight gets very tough due to loss of strength and flexibility in the feet/legs.

Foot pain and other conditions affect the posture and walking ability which can aggravate the problem if not taken care of by the right foot care professionals in a well-equipped foot clinic.

Chiropodists & Orthotics

Chiropodists are foot specialists and they specialize in treating painful foot conditions due to any medical or mechanical causes. They take time to study you, your foot problems, your gait pattern and any congenital or acquired posture habits that affect the function of your feet and contribute to the development of pain. Chiropodists diagnose the problem and prescribe orthotics, which can be

• Arch supports;
• Padding;
• Insoles.

Made from specialized and custom materials, and moulded individually to suit individual feet, orthotics are corrective devices inserted into shoes.
