DID YOU KNOW?...

In cases of certain patients suffering from DIABETES, a condition which affects the entire body, sensations of pain are often diminished or absent especially in the lower legs and feet. This is important because pain is a sign that there is something wrong. Diabetic patients should be seen by a Podiatrist on a regular basis to assure foot health and avoid complications such as infections and amputations.

Common nail and skin fungal infections of the feet can also easily be treated by a Podiatrist. Not only are these infections unsightly and painful they can also lead to more serious bacterial infections!

Podiatrists can also diagnose and treat common foot and ankle injuries from sports, physical activities or accidents. Sprains, strains, heel pain and fractures are often under diagnosed and if left untreated can lead to chronic pain and re -injury.
