Keep Your Feet Healthy with Expert Foot Therapy in Ottawa, Orléans, & Carleton Place, ON!
Are you living with diabetes? Or maybe you’re an older adult or someone who has recently suffered an injury and finds caring for your feet difficult. No matter the reason, Expert Physio Plus in Ottawa, Orléans and Carleton Place, ON offers specialized foot therapy addressing various needs.
Keeping your feet healthy is an important factor in maintaining a high quality of life. This is especially true for people with diabetes, as the condition reduces blood circulation and damages the nerves in your feet, leading to a higher incidence of sores and other foot problems.
But our services aren’t limited to those with diabetes. For older adults, healthy feet can help you stay mobile and independent–but age can also make it difficult for you to trim your toenails, tend to cracked heels, or address fungal infections like athlete’s feet. Our services can keep your feet in great shape so painful foot conditions don’t cramp your style.
Best of all? We can bring these services directly to your home, making us an ideal choice for anyone with limited mobility. You can also access our services at our clinic Ottawa, ON.
Don’t let poor foot health impact your quality of life. Request an appointment with us today!
What Foot Therapy Services Do We Offer in Ottawa, Orléans, & Carleton Place, ON?
We offer two types of foot care:
Diabetic Foot Care
If you have advanced diabetes, it’s crucial that you visually monitor your feet for sores, dryness, and other issues. Due to nerve damage, you might not feel cuts and other concerns, so you definitely need to keep an eye on things!
Our registered nurse can assess your foot for warning signs of diabetes-related foot problems, including the following:
- Dry or callused skin
- Blisters or other wounds
- Diabetic ulcers
- Neuropathy (i.e., numbness or tingling)
- Skeletal changes
If we notice anything unusual, we can provide custom guidance for addressing the issue and keeping your feet healthy.
We can also help you manage diabetic ulcers by cleaning the wound, changing dressings, and applying medications to help them heal more efficiently.
Medical Foot Care
We can also help manage non-diabetes-related foot issues, including the following:
- Heel Cracks and Fissures: Cracked heels are more than a cosmetic issue; if deep enough, they can make walking painful. We’ll treat the skin to manage or even eliminate heel cracks.
- Corns and Calluses: These thick layers of skin can cause pain while walking or wearing shoes. We’ll help you safely remove them.
- Nail and Skin Fungus: Various fungal infections can affect your toenails and your foot’s skin. We offer advanced treatment to attack the fungal colony to eliminate it completely.
- Ingrown Nails: An ingrown toenail can be incredibly painful–but you don’t need to suffer! We can easily remove and dress the nail for you, ensuring you find lasting relief.
