What Should You Do About Cracked Heels?

Experiencing cracked heels? What should you do about it?

If you are tired of constant cracked heels and have tried all sorts of creams without success, consider professional care. At our Toronto footcare clinic, we begin with establishing the underlying causes for your cracked heels to customize a suitable treatment plan. This may include debriding (paring down) the cracked skin and the application of effective emollients to maintain and prevent recurrence. Prescription medications may be required in severe cases or when infectious processes are evident.

Unlike a pedicure, a chiropodist (foot care specialist) is a licensed medical professional who considers your overall health condition, not just your cracked heels. This is an important consideration for those with diabetes or other underlying systemic conditions who require professional medical care. Additionally, a chiropodist uses aseptic techniques and sterilized instruments to ensure that the cracked heels are removed without the risk of infection.

Watch Knee Pain Disappear with Orthotics

If you've already tried shoes with arch supports or orthopaedic shoes and still have your knee pain, I highly recommend going to a chiropodist to get custom-made orthotics. I have found in my Toronto clinic, Footcare Place, that they work almost 100% of the time.
