Diabetes can potentially lead to an array of serious—life-threatening, in some cases—medical issues that are related to or adversely affect the health of your feet. Diabetic foot care refers to the measures you can take to prevent these issues from happening in the first place. It is an essential vehicle for ensuring the health and safety of not only your feet, but your entire body as well.

Components of a successful foot care plan include daily foot inspections, protective measures against wounds, and regular appointments with medical professionals, like our staff here at Brook Valley Podiatry. Early detection and treatment is instrumental in preventing serious complications.
