April 25, 2019, Los Angeles, CA-based Lumina HealthCare have just announced they’ve signed a podiatrist services contract with San Joaquin Nursing and Rehab in Bakersfield. The contract will ensure that patients at the 99-bed facility have access to a range of foot care services, to help mitigate foot pain and give patients greater freedom of movement.
Foot pain and foot health challenges can prevent patients from achieving their recovery objectives while in nursing facilities. Oftentimes recovery requires the patient to walk short distances in order to improve their stability and balance. This is part of the reason why many facilities are now working with specialized podiatrist services to help support their patients. To improve the foot care service options for their patients, San Joaquin Nursing and Rehab in Bakersfield has recently signed a contract with Lumina HealthCare.
The Lumina HealthCare team can address issues with in-grown toe-nails, ulcers, and fallen arches. They also have comprehensive expertise in crafting custom orthotics. Their orthotics can help ensure patients achieve optimal comfort for the long-term, enhancing mobility and supporting effective treatment outcomes.
Lumina HealthCare’s podiatrists can also diagnose and treat diabetes-related foot health issues directly at the patient’s bedside, helping protect against the damage caused by the disease.
