Routine foot care is also available for those who have no foot issues, but have difficulty trimming the nails because of mobility issues, low dexterity or poor eyesight. A chiropodist will also provide personalized advice on hygiene, footwear, and at-home care, helping patients of all ages stay active and pain-free. Routine foot care starts with a 40 minute Initial assessment and treatment, with subsequent visits being scheduled for 20 minutes at 4-8 week intervals.
