Holiday Gifts to Pamper Feet
How’s your holiday shopping coming along? Are you feeling stuck, trying to find a gift for that hard-to-buy-for friend or family member? Everyone enjoys a bit of pampering! Here are some holiday gift tips from Dr. Jason Grossman to keep feet, ankles, and lower legs feeling great:
Give a relaxing foot rub. Invite someone for whom you care to have a seat in a comfy chair. Turn the lights low and put on some quiet music. Use a scented lotion, and be sure to ask whether the level of pressure you’re using is too firm, too soft, or just right. Remember to remove lotion and put on socks when you’re done to prevent slipping and falling.
How about a spa pedicure? Relaxing at the salon is a wonderful indulgence. Take a few moments to make sure that your local venue uses impeccable hygiene practices including sterilized instruments and disposable basin liners. Prevent ingrown toenails by insisting that nails be trimmed straight across, rather than rounded. Refuse any callus removal that involves sharp instruments. This can cause small nicks and cuts that allow germs to enter the bloodstream and can lead to infection.
People with diabetes and other ailments that affect circulation often feel cold. Feet can become uncomfortable. A warm pair of socks or new slippers will be appreciated. Keep your loved one safe from foot and ankle injuries. Be sure to choose a pair with rubber treads or soles for extra traction.
Finally, ensure the foot and ankle health of someone you love this holiday season. Bring them to see Jason Grossman, DPM. Dr. Grossman will conduct a thorough examination of their feet, ankles, and lower legs and diagnose any existing or potential issues, and then work with them to create an effective plan for treatment and any necessary ongoing care.
