This group covers routine diabetic foot care, nerve problems, wounds that will not heal, infections, circulation problems, swelling, and nerve entrapment.

Diagnosis and care

How we treat diabetic foot care, wounds, and circulation problems.

Step 1 · Diagnosis

We check the skin, nails, pulses, temperature, and the feeling in your feet using simple tests. We look at foot shape and pressure points, measure blood flow when needed, and examine any wound closely. X-rays and lab tests help find infection or bone involvement, and we work with vascular specialists for circulation testing.

Step 2 · Treatment

Care includes a full foot exam, safe nail and callus care, moisturizing advice, and help with shoes and therapeutic inserts. Wounds are cleaned and treated with special dressings, offloading boots, compression, and advanced wound care. Infections are treated quickly with the right medicine, and we coordinate with your primary doctor to control blood sugar.

For severe infection, poor blood flow, or deformity that keeps causing wounds, we work with vascular surgeons and our foot and ankle surgeons on procedures that restore blood flow, remove infected tissue, or reshape the foot. Our goal is to save the limb and keep you walking.

Recovery

What to expect.

With regular visits and good daily habits, most problems stay small. Wounds that get quick care often heal in weeks, though some take months. Keeping blood sugar and blood pressure in range makes every part of care work better.

When to book: If you have diabetes, get a foot exam at least once a year. Book a visit right away for any cut, blister, color change, swelling, or sore that does not heal, even if it does not hurt.

Prevention

Tips to keep it from coming back.

  • Check both feet every day, including the bottoms
  • Wash and dry feet well, especially between toes
  • Never walk barefoot, even indoors
  • Wear clean socks and shoes that fit well
  • Do not cut corns or calluses yourself
  • Do not smoke, and keep blood sugar in your target range
