###### Abstract  
Foot pain and deformities are significant problems that increase with age and are significantly more prevalent in women. Calluses and corms are both common and inconvenient, and the accompanying pain complaints significantly reduce the quality of life. Professional foot care is one of the key elements in the prevention of foot disorders and improves the comfort of people with such problems. The aim of the present research was to assess the impact of podiatry treatments on the foot conditions, including parameters related to foot geometry, the forefoot pressure on the ground, and the occurrence of pain in women over 50. In each volunteer, history and physical examination were performed and an objective assessment with the use of the digital foot scanner and the baropodometric measurements was performed. The examinations were conducted before the beginning of the procedures and up to a week after each of the three podiatry treatments performed at monthly intervals. Specialist foot care treatments influenced the values of the hallux valgus angle, the avans angle of the fifth toe, and the longitudinal arch. After each treatment, the percentage of feet with normal longitudinal arch was significantly greater than before the treatments. The treatments influenced the value of pressure in the forefoot. The percentage of feet with pain decreased significantly after each treatment. Performed podiatry treatments, consisting of the removal of changes related to keratosis, not only normalized the parameters related to foot geometry and the forefoot pressure on the ground but also reduced foot pain. skin micro-injuries, caused by friction and overloading of the feet, induce the secretion of inflammatory mediators and growth factors. These factors stimulate epidermal cells to produce keratin with an excessive accumulation of a cohesive hard layer of stratum corneum [2; 6; 7]. When the stratum corneum does not exfoliate properly but increases its thickness and cohesiveness, calluses and corns are formed. Cohesive thickenings of the epidermis often cause significant pain. Calluses and corns are one of the most frequently reported problems in podiatry clinics and can be removed using podiatry equipment [6; 8; 9]. Each specialist foot care treatment should be preceded by an interview and physical examination. Depending on the technique of examining the feet and lower limbs, there are various methods: orthopedic, anthropometric (measurements of the lower limbs and computer podoscopy), tensometric (barropodometric), radiographic, goniometric, functional, and stabilographic (posturographic) [10]. The human foot shows a great diversity of shape, mainly in terms of the axis of the calcaneus, the arch of the longitudinal medial edge of the foot, the position of the forefoot in relation to the rear foot, and the transverse arch of the forefoot. These differences show specific features and occur singly or--more often--in combinations, called foot developmental variants. Pathologies are diagnosed in the case of exceeding commonly established norms in terms of developmental variants. The alignment of the calcaneus axis determines the correct, valgus, or varus foot. In a normal foot, the longitudinal arch of the medial edge of the foot is maintained when the foot is loaded. In avalgus foot, the incidence of toe zone deformities--hallux valgus--is higher than in normal and varus feet [11]. Flat foot (pes planus) is diagnosed when the skin is in contact with the ground above the navicular bone. An excessive longitudinal arch with a high instep is called a hollow foot (pes excavatus, pes cavus). The variants of the foot are also differentiated by the transverse arch. The load distribution in a healthy foot is concentrated on the ball of the big toe and the little toe. The lowered position of the medial heads of the metatarsal bones is characteristic of the transversally flat foot (pes transversus, pes transverso-planus).
