Understanding Diabetic Foot

Diabetic foot is a common and serious complication of diabetes. It refers to a range of foot conditions that can arise due to nerve damage (neuropathy) and poor blood circulation (peripheral arterial disease) typically associated with diabetes. These conditions increase the risk of foot infections, ulcers, and in severe cases, the need for amputation. Proper medical treatment is crucial to prevent and manage diabetic foot complications.

Comprehensive Foot Care Services

At The Foot Practice, we offer a wide range of foot care services to address the specific needs of patients with diabetic foot. Our expert podiatrists utilize the latest advancements in medical technology and treatment techniques to deliver superior care and exceptional outcomes.

1. Diabetic Foot Assessments

Our podiatrists conduct thorough assessments to evaluate the severity and extent of your diabetic foot condition. Through a combination of comprehensive history taking, physical examinations, and specialized tests, we gather all the necessary information to create an optimal treatment plan personalized to your unique needs.

2. Wound Care and Management

If you have developed a diabetic foot ulcer or wound, our skilled podiatrists excel in wound care and management. We utilize advanced wound dressings, offloading techniques, and other specialized treatments to promote healing and prevent infection. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures the best possible outcomes for your wound healing process.

3. Footwear Guidance

Proper footwear plays a crucial role in preventing and managing diabetic foot complications. Our podiatrists provide expert guidance in selecting appropriate footwear that provides optimal support, pressure redistribution, and protection. We consider individual factors such as foot shape, ulcer risk, and lifestyle to recommend the best footwear options for you.

4. Orthotic and Insole Prescription

Orthotics and insoles can greatly improve foot mechanics and reduce pressure points in patients with diabetic foot. Our podiatrists are skilled in prescribing and fitting customized orthotics and insoles tailored to your specific foot anatomy and biomechanical needs. These devices help redistribute pressure, enhance stability, and improve overall foot function.

5. Vascular Assessment and Intervention

Proper blood circulation is vital for optimal foot health. Our podiatrists are experienced in conducting vascular assessments to evaluate blood flow to the lower extremities. In cases where peripheral arterial disease is present, we work closely with vascular specialists to determine appropriate interventions, such as angioplasty or vascular bypass surgery, to improve blood supply to your feet.
