Referring to Fallbrook Podiatry

← All Specialties

Maintaining foot health in elderly patients directly impacts mobility, independence, and fall risk. Fallbrook Podiatry provides gentle, thorough care tailored to older adults — from routine nail management to complex deformity and wound issues.

Conditions & Services

Routine Nail & Skin Care

Safe nail trimming, callus management, and corn debridement for patients who cannot perform self-care due to limited flexibility, poor vision, or thick/dystrophic nails.

Fall Prevention Assessment

Evaluation of foot structure, balance-affecting deformities, neuropathy screening, and footwear assessment to reduce fall risk.

Pressure Injuries

Heel pressure ulcers, deformity-related skin breakdown, and offloading strategies for bed-bound or wheelchair-dependent patients.

Painful Foot Conditions

Bunions, hammertoes, arthritis, and heel pain that limit mobility and independence. Conservative and minimally invasive options appropriate for elderly patients.

Diabetic & Vascular Foot Care

Comprehensive foot surveillance for elderly patients with diabetes, PAD, or both — the population at highest risk for amputation.
