Diabetic Foot Care/Treatment
Description
Diabetic Foot Care/Treatment – The Chiropodists at Think Feet Family Foot Clinic, in Orillia, treat and care for diabetic conditions.
Diabetes is a condition that affects the whole body. The greatest risk to the feet, with diabetes, is Diabetic Neuropathy. This can cause loss of feeling in the feet, resulting in an inability to recognize if an injury has occurred. Without the feeling of pain, an individual may not know that they need to seek medical attention for an open sore on the bottom of their feet. Unfortunately, this could lead to an amputation if not addressed timely.
At Think Feet Family Foot Clinic, our Chiropodists routinely check your feet for any changes that could cause skin breakdown. For clients with diabetes, the “In Low’s 60 Second Diabetic Foot Screening” test is used to determine their potential risk for skin breakdown. Talk to your Chiropodist for further information regarding this test and its benefits.
