The National Health Service provides chiropody treatment but this service is mainly for pensioners, children, and others who have medical conditions, such as Diabetes. Most NHS chiropody clinics are so full that it can be difficult to get an appointment, even if the case is urgent. Appointments through the NHS can vary and 3 - 4 months waiting is not uncommon.
Some NHS chiropody departments have adopted a policy of non-routine treatment. In other words, they are refusing to do the mundane task of nail trimming. This is very sad, because nail trimming is important to senior citizens. An increasing number of patients who have painful feet, especially senior citizens, are attempting self-treatment as a result of this policy. Some are using long handled nail scissors, which are supposed to assist those who cannot bend down to their feet. This practice could be made worse because of impaired vision and be extremely dangerous.
If toe nails are allowed to grow too long, pressure from shoes can force the nails into the wall of the toe, resulting in ingrown toe nails.
Other damage of the nails can develop by trauma. It is important that a foot care professional trim the nails, especially for senior citizens, diabetics and others with circulatory problems.
