As the first spring breezes arrive, thoughts are
already slowly drifting towards the warm season, when we will also display our
feet for others to look at. This prompts you to think about whether you need
extra foot care – a therapeutic pedicure or, in more serious cases, a visit to
a podiatrist. 

If you are wondering, what a podiatrist
is – they are a foot and nail health specialist, who uses professional
equipment to provide therapeutic foot care, treat foot conditions and advise on
proper foot care. 

 

<h2>When and for whom is
therapeutic pedicure recommended? </h2>

Specialists recommend to everyone,
including those with healthy feet, to undergo professional therapeutic pedicure
procedures at least once a year. Why? Because, unlike in a beauty salon, where
more attention is paid to the visual appearance of the feet, nail polish and
the client's positive emotions during the procedure, a therapeutic foot care
specialist will spot possible problems early, provide medical assistance if
necessary, and advise on various issues affecting the well-being of feet. 

 

People at high risk, such as diabetics or
the elderly, who find it too difficult to carry out proper foot care on their
own, should be especially reminded about professional foot care. 

 

<h2>Podiatrist services for
men</h2> 

Specialists of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.1188.lv/katalogs/veselibas-centrs-3710/consilium-medicum-medicinas-klinika-riga-690557">the Consilium Medicum Medical Centre</a> would like to specifically address our macho
gender – men. While for most ladies, a pedicure is a normal part of their
grooming routine, men still tend to see it as being only for women and
something they should usually avoid. It's time to change this attitude – all
people have feet, which have to endure a lot of stress as we move around every
day, and it's only logical that everyone from adolescence onwards should
receive high-quality, professional care for their feet. 

Otherwise, you could end up in an anecdotal situation
where you have to hide your unattractive feet in socks, on a hot summer day. However,
you could also experience much more serious complications, where foot treatment
of problems such as foot fungus or ingrown toenails, will be much longer, more
difficult and more painful. 

<h2>Common
foot health problems </h2>

 

According to experts, too many patients
come to the doctors with foot problems that are already quite advanced, when
they interfere with their ability to work, do their hobbies and maintain their
usual quality of life. 

 

So don't delay making your appointment
with a <a target="_blank" href="https://consilium-medicum.lv/services/podologija/">foot health specialist</a> as soon as you notice any of the
following symptoms: 

 

<ul><li>pain in the feet, toes and finger joints;</li><li>unprecedented growths, visible deformation;</li><li>health problems caused by flat feet or hollow feet;</li><li>cracks in the feet, heels and between the fingers;</li><li>appearance of corns, warts or other growths; </li><li>changes in the texture and colour of toenails, and
footwear smell;</li><li>persistent thickening of skin on the bottom surface
of the feet;</li><li>ingrown toenails; </li><li>increased sweating of the feet;</li><li>any other reason causing discomfort.</li></ul>



















 

Not all foot problems can be solved by a podiatrist;
other specialists such as a dermatologist, surgeon, endocrinologist or
technical orthopaedic physician may also have to be involved. In this case, a
comprehensive treatment plan is drawn up and implemented for the patient. 

 

Welcome summer with healthy, well-groomed
and happy feet by booking a consultation with an experienced <a target="_blank" href="https://consilium-medicum.lv/all-specialists/#service-60">podiatrist</a>! Your feet support your entire body and
carry you every day, and they deserve it.
