Diabetic Foot Care
The answer to the question is YES! People with diabetes should see one of our doctors regularly to prevent any foot problems and complications.
People with diabetes are at a higher risk for foot problems, such as infections, ulcers, poor circulation, and nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy). Neuropathy can reduce sensation in the feet, making it difficult to detect injuries like ulcers, cuts, and blisters. Without proper care, these injuries can worsen and become further complications.
Our podiatrists are trained to identify early signs of these complications through routine exams, specialized foot care, and personalized advice. Regular visits are crucial for maintaining foot health, preventing complications, and ensuring prompt treatment if issues arise.
If you or someone you know is diabetic, schedule an appointment with one of our doctors as soon as you can. We'd love to help and make sure you and your feet are healthy and happy.
