Foot Health – The Foundation of a Happy, Independent Life
Healthy, strong feet are essential for maintaining an active, independent lifestyle. They carry us through millions of steps over the course of our lifetime, which is why it's vital to keep them in optimal condition.
Foot Care for Individuals with Diabetes
For individuals with diabetes, the risk of developing foot infections and ulcers is significantly higher. Left untreated, these conditions can lead to serious complications. Proper foot care is essential, and early detection and treatment of any signs of infection or issues can help prevent more severe health problems. Teresa’s expertise in diabetic foot care can be invaluable in managing and preventing complications.
Treatment of Age-Related Foot Problems
As we age, our feet undergo changes that can lead to discomfort or mobility challenges. Teresa specializes in the treatment of common age-related foot problems, including:
✔ Bone Deformities – Conditions such as bunion deformities or arthritis affecting the joints of the feet
✔ Loss of Cushioning – Reduced padding in the heel and ball of the foot, leading to pain and discomfort
✔ Sensitive Skin – Thinning and more delicate skin due to decreased elasticity, leading to more vulnerability to injury
✔ Nail Issues – Fungal infections, ingrown toenails, and brittle nails that can become difficult to trim and maintain
✔ Foot Care Challenges – Difficulty with basic foot care or finding appropriate footwear for comfort and support
Teresa is committed to providing expert care to help individuals maintain their foot health, preventing pain, and ensuring a greater quality of life.
