What patients really expect from foot care – and how you can benefit from it

Regular foot care has long been more than just a cosmetic luxury. A recent survey on podologie-digital.de shows that for many people, a visit to a podiatrist's office is an integral part of their health routine. The results reveal fascinating insights – and at the same time offer guidance for anyone who wants to rely on professional care at home.

Foot problems are commonplace – and affect all age groups

The survey shows that over 80% of respondents regularly visit a podiatry practice every 4–8 weeks. The most common reasons are:

  • Ingrown or painful nails (39%)

  • Painful pressure sores and callus formation (34%)

  • Nail fungus and nail defects

Precise, safe work is crucial, especially for these problems – whether in the practice or during foot care at home.

👉 Our tip: For the treatment of ingrown nails and hard-to-reach areas, high-quality corner nippers or curved tweezers are indispensable tools.

Home care? Yes – but with professional tools

Around 70% of respondents said they regularly care for their feet at home. The most popular methods:

  • Applying cream (64%)

  • Foot baths (36%)

  • Callus removal with pumice stone or files (30%)

The rule of thumb is: If you regularly do your own hair removal, you shouldn't resort to everyday tools from the drugstore. Blunt blades, inaccurate scissors, or cheap pliers can do more harm than good.

👉 That's why we only carry stainless steel instruments at nagelzange.de – durable, disinfectable, and professional-quality. Whether nail clippers , nail nippers , nail scissors , or tweezers : Our products are designed for regular use – whether in the office or at home.

A look at the age groups: Who cares how?

  • Young adults (18–25 years): More likely to be active in cases of acute problems – use foot care less preventatively.

  • Adults 40+: Regular treatment – both medical and cosmetic – dominates here.

  • Seniors (65+): are the most likely to receive podiatric treatment and provide intensive care at home.

💡 Conclusion: As we age, our awareness of high-quality instruments and regular care also increases. This is precisely where our range comes in: Robust, ergonomic, sharp – for those who value quality.

Why quality is so important in foot care instruments

Precise work is especially important when treating ingrown nails, pressure sores, or nail fungus. A blunt cut or an improper grip can quickly turn care into a risk.

Therefore our recommendation:
Rely on durable, precisely crafted instruments – just like those used in professional podiatry practices.
