What Is Diabetic Foot Care Management?

Diabetes can cause many foot pain complications as it disrupts the normal function of the vascular system, affecting many areas of the body, including legs and feet.

What are diabetic foot problems?

Diabetic foot problems are numerous such as numbness, tingling or burning sensation, sharp pains, cramps, and increased sensitivity developed from a combination of causes, including poor circulation and neuropathy that can also cause deformities such as bunions, hammertoes, and Charcot’s feet. At Comfort Clinic, we provide top-notch foot care for diabetics patients by offering a comprehensive diabetic foot care program in Oakville, Toronto, Mississauga, Milton, Brampton, Caledon, Hamilton, Burlington, Halton Hills, Georgetown, and Watertown.

Diabetes often leads to peripheral vascular disease that inhibits a person’s blood circulation. Poor circulation in the lower part of the legs and feet contributes to foot, skin and tissue problems, swelling and dryness of the foot and causing injuries to heal poorly. Working closely with your physician, we prepare a personalized foot care program for diabetic patients, based on medical history, signs, symptoms, and results obtained from imaging procedures to help with the healing process. Our diabetic foot care specialists recommend diabetic foot care treatments and diabetic foot care products that can prevent reoccurring ulcers, infections and other serious diabetic feet conditions.
