Tips From Our Chiropodist
Diabetics are prone to foot problems for several reasons:
Sweat secretion in their feet is impaired. This causes abnormal pressure on the foot’s skin, bones and joints, which can prompt sores to develop. If left untreated, these can escalate to serious complications – including infection and amputation.
Moreover, diabetes minimizes the ability to fight infection, meaning lesions heal more slowly. This, coupled with a compromised immunity and the fact many diabetics can’t feel their feet due to nerve damage, makes professional foot care from a reputable clinical team a must.
Prevention Tips:
The first step to prevent complications and take control of diabetic foot health is proper footwear that doesn’t rub, and that accommodates foot abnormalities including calluses, corns or flat feet. At the Hewak Foot Clinic, we’re equipped with the expertise to fit you with orthopedic shoes and customized orthotics that will support and align your feet and body to improve foot function and curb problems associated with diabetes.
A foot-care program - In diabetics, foot-related problems can escalate quickly if left untreated. That’s why we create a foot-care plan that’s tailored to your needs, and recommend frequent visits to see us. During a check-up, we examine the skin and nails on your feet for irritations. We also test blood flow and nerve damage, and check for bone, joint and muscle problems. Moreover, we can guide you in self-care practices and teach you how to recognize potential issues and warning signs.
If you have diabetes, the right footwear coupled with a customized orthotic and regular check-ups from our foot-care team can help prevent foot wounds and deformities. With every step you take, you’ll be on the right path to maintaining optimum foot health.
