Diabetic Foot Care: Expert Care at FootHouse
Living with diabetes can bring unique challenges, especially when it comes to foot health. At FootHouse Podiatry, we understand the importance of maintaining optimal foot health for diabetic patients. Our professional, HCPC-registered podiatrists are here to provide expert diabetic foot care and advice, ensuring your feet remain healthy and pain-free.
Why Diabetic Foot Care is Vital
Diabetes can significantly affect your feet, increasing the risk of complications such as:
Neuropathy: Nerve damage that causes numbness or loss of sensation, making it harder to detect injuries.
Poor Circulation: Reduced blood flow to the feet, slowing healing and increasing infection risk.
Skin and Nail Problems: Thick callus, cracked heels, fungal nails, and ulcers are common issues.
Routine care and timely treatment are essential to avoid serious complications, including infections and amputation.
