Patients who practice daily foot care may often be rewarded with healthy feet. It is beneficial to air the feet out of the end of the day, followed by thoroughly washing and drying them. Many people enjoy professional pedicures and foot massages, and this can help to feel relaxed. Additionally, the feet endure the weight of the body for the majority of the day, and the feet can feel better when gentle foot stretches are practiced.  Important foot maintenance includes properly trimming the toenails on a regular basis, which may prevent unpleasant foot conditions, such as ingrown toenails, from developing. If you would like to know more information about how the feet and body can benefit from everyday foot care, it is suggested that you consult with a podiatrist.

Everyday foot care is very important to prevent infection and other foot ailments. If you need your feet checked, contact one of our podiatrists from Accent Podiatry Associates. Our doctors can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.

Everyday Foot Care

Often, people take care of their bodies, face and hair more so than they do for their feet. But the feet are a very important aspect of our bodies, and one that we should pay more attention to. Without our feet, we would not be able to perform most daily tasks.

It is best to check your feet regularly to make sure there are no new bruises or cuts that you may not have noticed before. For dry feet, moisturizer can easily be a remedy and can be applied as often as necessary to the affected areas. Wearing shoes that fit well can also help you maintain good foot health, as well as making it easier to walk and do daily activities without the stress or pain of ill-fitting shoes, high heels, or even flip flops. Wearing clean socks with closed shoes is important to ensure that sweat and bacteria do not accumulate within the shoe. Clean socks help to prevent Athlete’s foot, fungi problems, bad odors, and can absorb sweat.
