Why Diabetic Foot Care is Essential
Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, aging, and other chronic health conditions can significantly impact foot health.
Common complications include:
• Poor circulation – Reduced blood flow slows healing and increases infection risk.
• Nerve damage (neuropathy) – Decreased sensation can lead to unnoticed injuries.
• Increased pressure areas – Poor biomechanics can cause ulcers and calluses.
• Weakened immune response – Higher susceptibility to infections and wounds.

• Neurological testing to check for nerve damage or loss of sensation.
• Skin & nail assessments to identify infections, ulcers, or abnormalities.
• Biomechanical analysis to evaluate foot function and pressure points.
