The Importance of Podiatry, Nail, and Skin Care for Seniors, Diabetics and people with medical conditions

As individuals age or manage diabetes, foot health becomes increasingly vital. Reduced blood circulation, diminished skin elasticity, and neuropathy are common concerns, emphasising the need for proactive podiatric care.

Tailored Care for Enhanced Well-Being

At Coastal Podiatry, we excel in comprehensive assessments, including vascular and neurological evaluations, biomechanical examinations, and meticulous nail and skin care. We recognise the importance of addressing even minor issues to prevent escalation and ensure optimal foot health.
