Diabetic Foot Care
Comprehensive Care for Diabetic Feet
Protecting Foot Health for Patients with Diabetes
Diabetes can have a serious impact on the feet, affecting circulation and nerve function. Reduced blood flow makes even small cuts or sores difficult to heal, while nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy) can cause burning, tingling, numbness, and a loss of sensation. These changes increase the risk of developing ulcers, infections, and in severe cases, tissue loss or amputation.
Our podiatrists work closely with diabetic patients to prevent complications, detect issues early, and provide personalized care to keep feet healthy. From wound care and protective footwear to ongoing monitoring, we focus on reducing risks and preserving mobility.
Tips for Healthy Diabetic Foot Care
- Perform daily foot checks, using a mirror if needed.
- Moisturize to prevent dry, cracked skin.
- Always wear supportive shoes and inspect them before use.
- Never use heating pads, electric blankets, or hot water to warm your feet.
- Monitor blood sugar levels and share changes with your physician.
- Schedule routine podiatry exams to prevent and manage complications.
With proper care and regular checkups, many diabetic foot complications can be avoided. Studies show that most diabetes-related amputations are preventable with early treatment and proactive podiatric care.
