Proper Foot Care
Early diagnosis and treatment.
Proper foot care is vital for people diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetic patients are prone to a number of serious foot-related conditions including:
- Poor circulation
- Neuropathy
- Changes in foot shape
- Foot ulcers or sores that do not heal
These conditions put diabetics at a much greater risk of serious problems which, if untreated, can even lead to amputation. Thousands of patients rely on our physicians for the prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment of diabetic foot problems.
