Understanding Diabetic Feet Problems
Diabetes can significantly impact the health of your feet, leading to various complications if not properly managed. The Foot Practice specializes in diagnosing and treating diabetic feet problems, helping patients regain comfort, mobility, and peace of mind.
Common Diabetic Foot Conditions
Diabetic foot problems can manifest in different forms, including:
- Foot ulcers: Open sores that require immediate attention to avoid infections and further complications.
- Peripheral neuropathy: Nerve damage leading to numbness, tingling, and loss of sensation in the feet.
- Charcot foot: A condition where the bones in the foot weaken and collapse due to nerve damage, potentially leading to deformities.
- Peripheral arterial disease (PAD): Reduced blood flow to the feet, leading to poor healing and increased risk of infections.
- Fungal infections: Diabetes weakens the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to fungal infections like athlete's foot.
