If you have diabetes, taking care of your feet is extremely important.

Our knowledgeable specialists offer innovative treatments and diabetic foot care in Bradenton and Sarasota, FL, to help you avoid and treat diabetic foot issues.

Why Diabetic Foot Care?

If you are diabetic, your feet require special care. Aside from trying to avoid an injury to the foot, there are ways to help prevent serious diabetic foot issues, such as Charcot foot and ulcers. The biggest threat to the health of your feet if you have diabetes is allowing a small problem to become a big one — your minor foot problem may be more serious than you think. For many diabetics, the nerves of the feet do not function properly, causing a loss of feeling in the feet and poor blood flow. This can cause a common foot ailment like a cut or blister to become infected.
