Diabetic Foot Care

Why Is Diabetic Foot Care Important?

Diabetes can damage nerves and blood vessels, especially in the feet. This can lead to:

• Loss of sensation (neuropathy)
• Poor circulation
• Slow healing wounds
• Increased risk of infection
• Foot ulcers
• Risk of amputation if untreated

Many patients do not feel injuries due to nerve damage, which allows problems to worsen without treatment.

Routine diabetic foot care is essential to prevent serious complications.

Common Diabetic Foot Problems We Treat

Our foot specialists treat a wide range of diabetes-related foot conditions, including:

Diabetic Neuropathy

Nerve damage causing numbness, tingling, burning, or pain.

Foot Ulcers

Open sores that can become infected if not treated quickly.

Infections

Diabetes increases infection risk and slows healing.

Poor Circulation

Reduced blood flow delays healing and increases complication risk.

Calluses and Corns

Thickened skin that can lead to ulcers.

Foot Deformities

Structural changes that increase pressure points.

Early treatment can prevent serious outcomes.

• Foot pain or burning sensation
