Diabetic Foot Problems

Patients with diabetes have an elevated risk of serious foot problems. There are several reasons for this since diabetes involves: poor circulation, a damaged immune system and the possible development of nerve damage (neuropathy). Blood circulation in the feet is weaker than elsewhere in the body to begin with because of distance from the heart and the force of gravity. Further impaired circulation in diabetic patients may slow healing to a dangerous level. ...

Orthotics are shoe inserts that correct the way the foot moves while standing, walking, running or playing a sport.

They offer a conservative yet effective approach to treating certain foot and ankle problems and controlling movement after foot surgery. ...

Podiatry

Podiatry is a clinical discipline specializing in diagnosing and treating all disorders and conditions of the feet. Feet problems can affect people of all ages, but are most common in older people, diabetics and athletes.

Foot problems can affect nearby bones, joints, muscles and skin, all of which are highly susceptible to damage. In some cases, foot problems can even affect other parts of the body. ...
