It's tough to be happy and healthy when your feet hurt.
When diabetes causes problems in your feet, staying active and healthy becomes much more difficult. Foot problems not only affects your health, it affects many other aspects of your life such as:
- Limiting your mobility
- Robbing you of your independence
- Keeping you up at night
- Affecting your social life
- Making work more difficult
With a ton of different treatments, orthotics and devices to choose from...
Where do you start?
Many people end up spending money on shoes, orthotics and treatments before getting the cause of their diabetic foot problems diagnosed, this can lead to choosing the wrong treatment. Instead of addressing the underlying cause, they end up treating the symptoms.
Getting your diabetic foot diagnosed by a podiatrist can help by:
- Saving you hundreds (if not thousands) on unnecessary imaging and tests.
- Ensuring you get the proper treatment from the start.
- Avoiding wasted time on ineffective orthotics or neuropathy treatments.
- Preventing your condition from progressing to the point of amputation.
We have all the tools to get you back on your feet...
and back to loving life, fast.
