Diabetic Foot Care: Protect Your Feet with Regular Check-Ups

Living with diabetes? Regular foot care is essential to prevent serious complications. Schedule your diabetic foot check-up at Elmhurst Foot & Ankle Center Inc.

Diabetes can lead to serious foot problems if not properly managed. From poor circulation to nerve damage, your feet are especially vulnerable. At Elmhurst Foot & Ankle Center Inc., we specialize in diabetic foot care to prevent complications and help you maintain healthy feet.

Why Diabetic Foot Care is Critical
If you have diabetes, your feet are at higher risk for ulcers, infections, and even amputations due to:
Poor Circulation: Diabetes can cause poor blood flow to your feet, making it harder for cuts or sores to heal.
Nerve Damage: Many people with diabetes experience neuropathy, which reduces sensation in the feet. This makes it difficult to feel injuries, leading to untreated wounds that can become infected.
Foot Deformities: Diabetic foot conditions, such as hammertoes or Charcot foot, can develop over time, causing pain, deformity, and increased injury risk.
