Senior Toenail Cutting Service:

- This service is also suitable for diabetic patients.
Why Is Nail Cutting Important?
- Most of us do not give a lot of consideration to having our nails cut. Still, if you are elderly, informed, or suffer from restricted movement, a nail cutting service can be a very important aspect of your healthcare.
- Our nails are constantly growing; it takes a little over 12 months for your toenails to completely re-grow, so they can become very long and break, leaving sharp edges that can penetrate the skin and lead to pain and infection.
- This is particularly important to be avoided in those more susceptible to infection, such as the elderly and diabetics.
- These infections can spread fast and furious in the feet, so they should be avoided.
- However, these problems can be avoided by ensuring that your regular toenails can not do this yourself, then this service is ideal for your health, safety, and feet.

Preventative Nail Care for Seniors:
- Just like any other part of the body, our nails change as we age.
- We expect our nails to become hard and thick, take longer to grow, and become dull and brittle over time.
- Our nails can also change color, turning yellow and opaque instead of looking more translucent and shinier.
As duller, more brittle nails aren’t enough, seniors are also more susceptible to fungal infections forming on or around their nail beds.
- This is especially common to find on the toenails of seniors, as seniors are encouraged to wear socks and shoes around the house to help prevent falls and protect their feet.
- Yet, wearing shoes all day only provides a warm, moist environment for fungus to grow.
Research has indicated that our nails can reveal signs of underlying diseases.
- It’s important for seniors to take preventative measures to care for their fingernails and toenails to determine their health.
- Toenail care is an important aspect of personal grooming; unfortunately, it’s often overlooked.
- Make preventative nail care a priority by implementing the following tips.
Visit a Podiatrist:
Due to improper trimming techniques, many seniors suffer from ingrown toenails, which lead to further infections.
They either can’t reach their toenails, or someone else trims them to the shape of their toe, leaving them prone to an ingrown toenail.
Visiting a podiatrist regularly allows them to assess your overall foot health and share proper toenail trimming techniques.
Af you can’t trim your toenails. If you are a senior and a diabetic, it’s vital that you avoid trimming your toenails to lower your risk of developing you can’t trim your toenails; a podiatrist can do that during your visit. Ping an infection in your feet. Come see a great podiatrist like Dr. Tom Biernacki DPM locally!
Come see us and become a new patient!
Let Them Breathe:
While it’s important for seniors to wear shoes and socks to help prevent a fall, seniors must also give their toenails a chance to breathe.
- Find time each day to expose your toenails to fresh air. Take off your socks and shoes while watching television, or go barefoot to bed.
- Treat your feet to a warm Epsom salt foot soak. Senior women who enjoy wearing nail polish need to allow their fingernails and toenails to breathe.
- Skip the polish between home manicures or pedicures.
- We do perform a medical pedicure at our clinics!
- Consider using the fall and winter seasons as an “off” season for nail polish.
Trim Nails Regularly:
- Nasty germs, dead skin cells, and dirt love to lurk under fingernails. Preventative nail care also involves trimming nails regularly.
- While washing your hands and using a fingernail brush to scrub under fingernails can dislodge some of the gunk, keeping nails trimmed is the most effective way to minimize the spread of germs and infection.
- If you have thicker nails, trim your fingernails after a warm bath or shower when the nails are softer and easier.
- You can also trim your toenails after bathing if you feel confident.
- Then, use a nail file to file nails straight across. If you have thinner nails, stick to a nail file alone. Check your nails weekly and trim or file as needed.
Eat the Right Nutrients:
Preventative nail care also involves eating proper nutrients to support healthy, strong nails.
- Your diet may lack key nutrients if you suffer from dry and brittle nails. Improve your nails by eating more fruits, leafy greens, lean meats, salmon, beans, eggs, nuts, and whole grains.
- Ensure you get enough calcium and vitamins A, B, and C.
- Talk with your primary care physician about which vitamins and supplements are right for the health of your nails.
