Its main objective is to anticipate and prevent functional, structural, or dermatological alterations, preventing minor problems from progressing into pathologies that could compromise the patient's mobility, autonomy, and quality of life. It includes actions such as health education, early detection of risk factors, and the application of conservative treatments. The key to effective podiatry is prevention. Regular visits to a specialist, especially for those in high-risk groups (e.g., those with diabetes or over 65), can make a significant difference to long-term foot health and, consequently, to a person's mobility and independence. In addition to the podiatric intervention itself, professionals can guide individuals on self-care measures (e.g., foot and nail hygiene, recommendations for appropriate footwear, strengthening exercises, etc.) to prevent injuries and maintain optimal foot function.
