The Benefits of Podiatry for All Ages
Podiatry for Children
Early podiatric care is important for children as it ensures proper development of their feet and ankles. Podiatry at Rivergum can address concerns like flat feet, gait abnormalities, and toe-walking, which, if left untreated, may lead to more complex issues in adulthood.
Podiatry for Adults
Adults often benefit from podiatric care to manage conditions such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, ingrown toenails, and diabetic foot care. Regular visits to a Rivergum Village Medical Centre podiatrist can alleviate pain, prevent worsening foot problems, and improve your overall mobility and quality of life.
Podiatry for Elderly Adults
As we age, foot health becomes increasingly important. Podiatrists at Rivergum Village Medical Centre can play an essential role in managing conditions like arthritis, balance issues, skin and nail disorders, and foot complications associated with diabetes. Proper foot care can significantly reduce the risk of falls and related injuries among the elderly.
Conditions Treated by Podiatrists
Podiatrists are trained to treat a wide range of foot and ankle conditions including but not limited to:
- Sports injuries
- Heel pain
- Nail disorders
- Structural abnormalities
- Wounds and infections
What to Expect at Your Podiatry Appointment
During your podiatry appointment, your podiatrist will thoroughly examine your feet and ankles, discuss any concerns you may have, and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
