You're in good hands with Dr.Tzorfas! h a V e y O u l O O k e d a t y O u r P a r e n t S ' F e e t l a t e l y ? By Howard J. Tzorfas D.P.M. If you're an adult like I am, the answer would be no. Why would we look at our parents feet? They are our parents – they can take care of themselves. What if you have older parents and they are now seniors? They may have difficulty walking or cutting their own toenails. There are many things your parents don't want to tell you about. Perhaps they may not have good memory, or they may have dementia. There will come a time when you will have to take care of your parents, and with this new responsibility you will have to look at their feet. First, you'll need to take off their shoes and socks. You might find out that they are not cutting their toenails or might have an infection, or they may not be wearing appropriate shoes. As people get older they need to wear good supportive shoes. Your mother needs to put the dressy shoes away. Eighty percent of senior citizens have fungus toenails. These toenails are thick and yellow and are very difficult to cut. Many older patients are unable to cut them, so they just ignore them. They may also be very embarrassed, and won't tell you they need their nails trimmed. Usually this service will be covered by a podiatrist. Your parent might also have circulation issues or diabetes, which also indicates that they should not cut their own toenails. Your mother or father may have balance issues or have fallen recently. A podiatrist can evaluate them and get the proper help that they need. If you have any foot problems, issues and questions, please contact Howard J. Tzorfas, D.P.M. at 908.236.6999, or visit: www.DrTzorfas.com.
