Foot and ankle assessments:
A podiatrist can assess the health of your feet and ankles, identifying any potential issues or problems that need to be addressed.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Home visits
A home visit foot clinic typically provides many of the same services as a mobile foot clinic, but in the comfort and convenience of the patient's own home. Here are some services that a home visit foot clinic may offer:
Custom orthotics:
Orthotics are special inserts that can be placed in shoes to help support the feet and improve foot and ankle function. A home visit foot clinic may provide custom orthotics that are specifically designed to meet the needs of each individual patient.
Diabetic foot care:
Home visit foot clinics may provide specialized care for individuals with diabetes, including foot screenings and assessments to check for signs of diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage) or other complications.
Geriatric care:
Home visit foot clinics may also provide specialized care for older adults, who may have difficulty getting around or may have chronic conditions that require special attention.
Treatment for foot and ankle conditions:
Home visit foot clinics can provide treatment for a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, and more.
Nail and skin care:
Home visit foot clinics can provide nail and skin care services, such as cutting and filing nails, treating fungal infections, and removing calluses or dry, cracked skin.
Education:
Foot specialists can also provide education on how to care for your feet and prevent common foot and ankle problems, and also provide you with exercises and stretching to improve the foot mobility and strength.
