Common Foot Problems in the Elderly
As people age, foot complaints become more and more common. These issues can range from bunions to hammertoes and even problems due to diabetes.
Some of the most common issues include:
• Heel pain
• Ingrown Toenails
• Corns
• Calluses
• Bunions
• Deformities
These issues can limit mobility and, if combined with other mobility issues, they can keep you off your feet for extended periods of time. You may find yourself on a scooter or in a wheelchair. The good news is there is a lot of foot care for the elderly that you can take advantage of so you don’t find yourself in this situation.
