Diabetic Foot Care
If you are diabetic it is important to have your Podiatrist at Prime Foot and Ankle Specialists check your feet.
Diabetic foot care is crucial as individuals with diabetes are prone to poor circulation, weakened immune systems, and impaired nerve function in their feet. Due to poor circulation or lack of sensation after poor circulation, diabetic feet are more susceptible to developing sores and non-healing wounds, which may lead to ulcers. These wounds can also develop into serious infections, increasing the risk of amputations, limb loss, and even loss of life.
People with Diabetes also have a good chance of developing neuropathy. Symptoms of this nerve disorder can be pain, burning, numbness & tingling sensation in your feet. We recommend that you contact us for a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms. Our diabetic Podiatrist will use advanced technology to check the circulation and nerve function of your feet to determine if you have neuropathy.
Prime Foot and Ankle Specialists will work with you to create your personalized treatment plan to manage your diabetic foot symptoms effectively.
