Podiatry treatment for conditions related to diabetes
Why should people with diabetes have their feet checked by a Podiatrist?
- Nerve damage (loss of feeling) and reduced circulation (loss of blood flow) to the feet are two of the problems that may occur for those with diabetes
- Poor circulation may result in slow healing and increase infections of the skin
How can podiatrists help people with diabetes?
- Our team at Beyond Podiatry will thourghly check your sensation and circulation in your feet using instruments and ultrasounds
- This is pain free examination
- The results will be sent in a report to your doctor
- Good foot care is very important for people with diabetes
- Podiatrists can treat those hard to cut toenails, corns, calluses, ingrown toenails and diabetic foot ulcers
