Geriatric Foot Care

Specialized Care for Healthy, Comfortable Feet in Your Golden Years

At Hoyal Podiatry in Orem, UT, our podiatrist understands that as we age, feet and ankles face unique challenges from wear and tear, arthritis, diabetes, and circulatory issues. These can lead to discomfort, pain, and mobility problems.

Specialized geriatric foot care is essential to address these needs. Our services are designed to maintain comfort, prevent complications, and keep seniors active and independent. Neglecting foot health can lead to falls and infections, so our compassionate podiatrist focuses on preventative care and effective management of age-related foot conditions.
