Understanding Diabetic Foot Complications Diabetic foot treatment and care, Diabetic Ulcers Treatment & Management in the Maricopa County, AZ: Chandler(Dobson Ranch, Kiwanis Park, Tempe, Ocotillo, Sun Lakes, Goodyear Village, Guadalupe, Ahwatukee, Mountain Park Ranch) and Gilbert (The Islands, Val Vista Lakes, Superstition Springs, Reed Park, Power Ranch, Mesa, Queen Creek, Eastmark, Kleinman Park Neighborhood, Lower Santan Village) areas

High blood sugar levels can damage nerves and reduce blood flow to your feet, leading to serious complications. When diabetes affects the nerves in your feet—a condition known as peripheral neuropathy—you may lose sensation and fail to notice cuts, blisters, or other injuries. Reduced blood flow also means these wounds heal more slowly, increasing your risk of infection.

Our podiatrists work with you to prevent these complications through regular examinations and early intervention. We help you recognize warning signs before they develop into more serious problems that could affect your mobility and independence.

5 Essential Components of Professional Diabetic Foot Care

Our comprehensive approach to diabetic foot care includes several key elements to protect your foot health:

  1. Regular foot examinations to detect problems early.
  2. Education about proper home care techniques.
  3. Professional nail care to prevent ingrown toenails.
  4. Custom orthotics to reduce pressure points.
  5. Wound care when needed.

We also provide guidance on choosing appropriate footwear and performing daily foot checks at home. These preventive measures significantly reduce your risk of developing serious complications.

Creating Your Personal Foot Care Plan

Every patient's needs are unique, which is why our team develops individualized treatment plans. During your initial consultation, we'll assess your current foot health, discuss any existing problems, and create a customized care strategy that fits your lifestyle and specific risk factors.
