Diabetes can have serious implications for your feet. Poor circulation and nerve damage are common in people with diabetes, making it easier for foot problems to develop. Without proper care, minor issues can quickly escalate into more serious complications like ulcers, infections, and even amputations.
Regular visits to a chiropodist can help manage diabetic foot conditions by addressing problems before they become severe. At Active Recovery’s Foot Clinic, our experienced chiropodists provide specialized care for diabetic patients, ensuring their feet remain healthy and functional.
Diabetic foot care starts with a thorough assessment. During your visit to our Chiropody Courtice or Chiropody Oshawa clinic, our chiropodists will check for signs of reduced circulation, nerve damage, and any existing sores or ulcers. We’ll also assess your footwear to ensure it provides adequate support and protection for your feet.
One of the most common issues we see in diabetic patients is the development of foot ulcers. These sores can form when minor injuries go unnoticed due to nerve damage. Without proper treatment, ulcers can become infected and lead to more serious complications. Our chiropodists are trained to treat these ulcers and prevent them from recurring.
Custom orthotics are another important part of diabetic foot care. Orthotics can help reduce pressure on certain areas of the foot, preventing ulcers from forming in the first place. At our Foot Clinic, we offer custom orthotics tailored to the unique needs of diabetic patients.
In addition to treating existing problems, our chiropodists provide education on how to care for your feet at home. This includes advice on proper foot hygiene, the importance of daily foot checks, and tips for choosing the right footwear. With regular care, you can reduce your risk of developing serious foot complications.
If you’re living with diabetes, don’t wait until a problem arises. Schedule regular visits to our Chiropody Courtice or Chiropody Oshawa clinics to ensure your feet stay healthy. Our team of chiropodists is here to provide the expert care you need.
