Clinical Care of the Diabetic Foot
Diabetes can have a significant impact on foot health, leading to various complications if left untreated. At The Foot Practice, we specialize in providing comprehensive clinical care for diabetic feet, aiming to prevent or manage these complications effectively.
Preventive Care
Preventing foot-related complications is an essential aspect of our clinical care for diabetic feet. Our podiatrists educate patients about proper foot hygiene, self-examination techniques, and footwear recommendations. We emphasize the importance of regular foot screenings to identify any potential issues at an early stage.
Regular foot examinations: Our podiatrists conduct thorough foot examinations to assess circulation, sensation, and skin integrity. By identifying any signs of potential problems, we can intervene promptly and prevent further complications.
Footwear recommendations: Proper footwear plays a crucial role in preventing foot complications in individuals with diabetes. Our podiatrists provide guidance on choosing appropriate shoes and may prescribe custom orthotics if necessary.
Wound Care Management
Individuals with diabetes are prone to developing foot ulcers and wounds that can be difficult to heal. At The Foot Practice, we have extensive experience in managing diabetic foot wounds and preventing infection.
Expert wound assessment: Our podiatrists perform thorough assessments to determine the severity and cause of foot ulcers. This information helps us develop personalized treatment plans for optimal wound healing.
Advanced wound care techniques: We utilize the latest evidence-based wound care techniques, including debridement, offloading, dressings, and infection control. Our goal is to promote optimal healing and prevent complications.
Nail Care
Proper nail care is crucial for individuals with diabetes to prevent ingrown nails, infections, and other nail-related issues. The Foot Practice offers specialized nail care services to ensure the overall well-being of your feet.

Orthotics and Footwear Modifications
If we identify any gait abnormalities or foot deformities that contribute to foot complications, our podiatrists may prescribe orthotics or recommend footwear modifications.
Custom orthotics: We offer custom-made orthotics designed to address individual foot abnormalities. These devices provide support, redistribute pressure, and help improve overall foot function.
