Diabetic Foot Care
Overview
Most people don’t realize that one of the most dangerous complications of diabetes is its effects on the feet! Diabetes affects blood flow, nerves, and the body’s ability to heal. Because the feet are often the first areas to show signs of problems, regular visits to a chiropodist can help prevent small issues from becoming something much more serious.
At Etobicoke Foot Clinic, we focus on catching problems early to keep your feet healthy and strong.
Why Diabetic Foot Care Matters
1. Loss of Sensation
Diabetes can damage nerves, leading to something called neuropathy. This makes it difficult to feel wounds, cuts, or blisters on your feet. Without early detection, injuries can go unnoticed and become more serious.
2. Reduced Blood Flow
Poor circulation slows healing, which means even a small sore can take weeks or months to recover.
3. Higher Risk of Infection
Elevated sugar levels can actually make it harder for your body to fight infections.
Our Approach to Care
When you visit us, we will perform a complete diabetic foot check and create a care plan just for you. This may include:
- Diabetic Screening: Assess blood flow and nerve health to detect early warning signs.
- Routine Maintenance: Safe trimming of nails, corns, and calluses to reduce pressure points.
- Early Intervention: Treating ingrown toenails, fungal infections, and skin conditions before they worsen.
- Ulcer & Wound Care: Evidence-based treatment to promote healing and prevent complications.
- Foot & Walking Assessment: Identifying areas of high stress that may contribute to wounds, then giving advice to reduce the risk.
