Foot Gifts for the Family
There’s still time to surprise your loved ones with helpful foot gifts before the end of the year. The doctors at The Center for Podiatric Care and Sports Medicine have a few of their favorite suggestions to get you started with shopping. Their recommendations focus on comfort, convenience, and care. Are you ready to pick up your gifts?
Comfort
We’re sure someone in your family can use a new pair of socks. With so many options, there’s always a reason to add a new color or style. Socks can often begin to show wear. If someone has diabetes, keep in mind they may need a specialized pair of socks. Focus on the cuff, cushion, and color. Elastic cuffs on socks can be too tight and become dangerous for patients with diabetes.
Convenience
Have you considered a home spa kit? For a loved one who is still limiting their visits to spas, salons, or other spaces, bring the experience. A personal spa kit brings the calm home and allows your family member to begin their personal spa treatment in the comfort of their home. If someone has diabetes, it is important they consult with their podiatrist first.
Care
One of the best gifts to share this season is love and support. Show you care for your loved one by recommending they visit a podiatrist to address their foot and ankle pain. If they seem uneasy about going alone, reassure them you will be right by their side on appointment day.
