Feet change with age due to trauma, structural breakdown, and medical conditions. These can cause size increase, fallen arches, or sensation loss from nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy). Poor blood flow can also lead to significant foot issues. Our foot assessment is key to identifying problems, ensuring you and your health care team are informed. We are honored to be your nurse advocates for foot health.

We use a gentle approach to foot care. During nail trimming, we assess nail quality, shape, growth pattern, and condition, trimming to a comfortable length. Reducing nail thickness is essential for health and proper shoe fit. Our mission is to promote healthy feet and nails through regular maintenance.

Maintaining the integrity of the skin on our feet is crucial as we age. Corns and calluses can cause pain and impact mobility. While dry heels and feet can be bothersome, deeply cracked heels can lead to infections due to compromised skin integrity. Routine foot care is essential for overall health, well-being, and vitality as we grow older.

A quality moisturizer is applied, and the foot care service is complete with a therapeutic massage for circulation and tension reduction. This relaxing finish is part of our professional senior footcare services available throughout Southern Oregon, including Medford, Ashland, and Grants Pass.
