Vancouver Signature Foot Treatment

+Check your feet daily

+Wear proper fitted shoes

+Wear shoes with a firm sole and soft upper for daily activities

+Avoid constricting garters, pantyhose or stockings

+Do not cut or shave corns or calluses

+Consult with a podiatrist before using any over-the-counter foot product, if you notice any redness, swelling, cracks in the skin or sores.

+Soak your feet in warm water daily (we recommend Epsom salts once or twice a week)

+Dry feet completely and moisturize daily

+Change your socks daily

+Trim or file toenails straight across

+Have your feet examines by a podiatrist at least twice a year

+Buy the correct shoe size – we recommend you get them measured

+Gently stretch your shoes before wearing (you can use a thick pair of socks to expand the leather or visit a cobbler to stretch them professionally)

+Wear new shoes around the house for at least one hour

+Healthy feet should not hurt – tight shoes worsen Bunions, distort toe shape and cause painful foot growth.

High heels should have a wide toe box and stable. 

+Flip flops and flat shoes do not provide arch support and can lead to flat feet and other foot problems 

+Factors that affect your feet include:

Pregnant women – should wear shoes with broad heels, arch support and good shock absorbency. Added pregnancy weight may cause your shoe size to change.

Older women – lose fat padding under the feet. Choose shoes that provide more shock protection.

Diabetic women – can develop serious conditions in their lower extremities so its important to check for any problems daily and to see a podiatrist at least once a year. Be cautious about pedicures at nail salons.
