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

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.

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 hard 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.

At Elmhurst Foot & Ankle Center Inc., our team provides comprehensive diabetic foot care, including: • Regular Check-Ups: Routine exams help us catch problems early before they become serious. • Wound Care: If you develop sores or ulcers, our advanced wound care treatments promote faster healing and prevent infection. • Custom Orthotics: We provide diabetic-friendly orthotics to reduce pressure on your feet and prevent ulcers. • Footwear Recommendations: We'll guide you in choosing the right shoes to protect your feet and maintain proper support.

Preventing diabetic foot complications starts with regular care. By scheduling check-ups at Elmhurst Foot & Ankle Center Inc., you can stay one step ahead of potential problems. We'll work with you to develop a personalized foot care plan that keeps your feet healthy and helps you avoid unnecessary complications.
