Diabetic Foot Health
If you are diabetic it is crucial to have our Diabetic Foot Specialists check your feet
Diabetics are prone to poor circulation, have a weakened immune system and impaired nerve function in their feet. Due to poor circulation or lack of sensation after poor circulation, diabetic feet are more susceptible to developing sores, and non-healing wounds which may lead to ulcers. These wounds can also develop into serious infections which can lead to amputations, loss of limbs and even loss of life.
People with Diabetes also have a good chance of developing neuropathy. Symptoms of this nerve disorder can be pain, burning, numbness & tingling sensation in your feet. We recommend that you book an appointment for a comprehensive diabetic foot evaluation. Fort Lee Podiatry Group will use advanced technology to check the circulation of your feet to determine if you have neuropathy. Our podiatrists will work with you to design your unique treatment plan.
Diabetic Shoe Program
Diabetic patients may experience ailments with their feet due to loss of sensation and poor circulation. Choosing footwear in order to protect the feet from complications is important. To ensure proper fit and comfort, there are many shoes available that are specially made for diabetic patients. Many of these shoes come with removable shoe inserts or orthotics and offer extra support to keep the feet healthy. Fort Lee Podiatry Group’s shoes may also be custom-made to fit your individual feet to help you find pain relief.
