Be Podiatry Provides Multiple Therapies for Diabetes-Related Foot Concerns

Diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate in people over the age of 25. It’s a chronic autoimmune disease that affects multiple systems in the body and it’s a leading cause of foot pain and dysfunction. The specialists at Be Podiatry work with each client’s doctor to minimize damage and diabetic-related complications of the feet.

Be Podiatry performs comprehensive assessments and provides education and strategies for management and maintenance to keep feet healthy. Anyone with diabetes should conduct daily inspections of the feet. Diabetes causes damage to nerves and an injury can go unnoticed, lead to serious complications, and even result in amputation.

The podiatrist Thornbury will examine feet for redness, cracked skin, and changes in the color of skin or nails. The experts will check for nails that have become thickened, along with corns and calluses that can transition into open sores that won’t heal. Regular exams by a podiatrist are essential to prevent minor problems from becoming a serious health issue.

Surgery for ingrown toenails and shockwave therapy are available at the podiatrist Northcote. Ingrown nails are a common problem for people with diabetes and the acoustic waves of shockwave therapy are a beneficial and non-invasive treatment that stimulates nerves, breaks down scar tissue, and aids in easing pain.

An important tool for podiatry Preston specialists is a biomechanical assessment that pinpoints areas of concern and detrimental movement patterns. Tight or ill-fitting shoes and high heels are major causes of corns and calluses that can cause foot ulcers. The foot specialists can provide custom orthotics that relieve foot pain and pressure. Be Podiatry utilizes a 3D scan to craft a modern orthotic. Today’s orthotic devices are inconspicuous.

Regular foot examinations are essential for anyone that has diabetes. Be Podiatry has extensive experience with foot problems related to diabetes and has multiple therapies to alleviate pain, help prevent injuries, increase mobility, and keep feet healthy.
