Understanding diabetic and at-risk foot care, and how we help in Goodlettsville.
Looking for help with diabetic and at-risk foot care in Goodlettsville? Our Goodlettsville clinic at 824 Wren Rd offers exams, treatment, and follow up close to home.
A diabetic foot exam is a regular check of your skin, nerves, blood flow, and foot shape. High blood sugar can harm nerves and blood vessels over time. That makes small problems easy to miss and slow to heal.
People with diabetes, and others with poor feeling or circulation, benefit from routine visits. Most serious foot problems start small, like a blister or a dry crack. Regular exams help us catch trouble early.

Diagnosis and care
How we treat diabetic and at-risk foot care in Goodlettsville.
Step 1 · Diagnosis
We look over your skin, nails, and toes for sores, calluses, and signs of infection. We test feeling with a light touch or a small tool, and check pulses to see how blood is flowing. If needed, we may order blood tests or circulation studies, or take X-rays.
Step 2 · Treatment
Care starts with a daily foot check, gentle washing, and good moisturizer, but not between the toes. We trim nails and calluses safely so you do not have to. Diabetic shoes, inserts, and orthotics reduce pressure on risky spots. We also teach you which signs mean call us right away.
Surgery is not part of a routine exam. If a deformity keeps causing sores, surgery may be discussed to reshape the foot and take pressure off the area.

FAQ
Your questions answered.
How often should I have a foot exam?
At least once a year is a common guide, and more often if you have nerve loss or past foot sores. We will set a plan for you.
Why check my feet if they feel fine?
Nerve damage can hide pain, so a sore can grow without you feeling it. Exams find problems you cannot feel.
