A podiatrist performs home visits if a client finds difficulty attending a clinic setting. In these challenging times, expect that the Podiatrist will take extra precautions when providing you with such services. For safety reasons, it’s ideal that a room will only occupy you and your Podiatrist to provide a safe environment. The Podiatrist will wear personal protective equipment to lessen the chances of transmission.

Podiatrists will remove the treatment-related waste and dispose of them safely. They will also ask to use your handwashing facility. Make it convenient for your podiatrist by providing a kitchen roll for drying their hands.

The government advises individuals to cover their faces with a mask in specific situations. A podiatrist may request this during treatment. This prevents the potential transmission from sudden coughs or sneezes by asymptomatic patients. The professional can advise you on how to wear your mask and dispose of it.

When is a Mobile Podiatrist Needed?

With mobile podiatry services, you can be diagnosed and treated for foot issues that stem from infections, diabetes, warts, corns, athlete’s foot, calluses, heel sports, ingrown toenails, and more.

If any of your toenails are causing discomfort or you feel an unexplained pain in your ankles or feet, then it’s time to call the podiatrist. A specialist can also treat you if you are experiencing callusing, foot discomforts (such as numbness or tingling), or any kinds of infections (such as itching or swelling).

Your podiatrist will take a look at your background when determining the issue with your feet. Expect that on your first appointment, your podiatrist will ask about your history, condition, goals, and your level of understanding of your foot problems.
