“Taking good care of our feet as we age is very important,” said Karen O’Hara, health and fitness manager at Aging Partners. “The heavy wear and tear they endure over the years can lead to a lot of stress and strain, so it is very important to make sure they are getting the care they need.”
At the foot clinics, Aging Partners nurses examine feet and cut nails, and treat common problems such as bunions, corns, calluses, dry skin, heel pain, and ingrown toenails. They will also provide proper foot care training for a variety of foot problems, including diabetes-related foot conditions. If necessary, referrals will be made to other health professionals.
