The Role of Your Chiropodist in Diabetes Management

At Werkman, Boven & Associates, our team of experienced chiropodists is dedicated to providing exceptional foot care for diabetic patients of all ages, focusing on proactive foot health management. Diabetes can lead to various complications, particularly in the feet, where poor circulation and nerve damage can result in infections, ulcers, and, in severe cases, amputation. Our team is here to prevent these complications and ensure our patients maintain their foot health and overall well-being.

Our chiropodists focus on preventive care for diabetic patients. Regular, thorough foot assessments detect early signs of problems, including calluses, ulcers, or fungal infections, and address them before they become serious. We also provide tailored advice on proper foot hygiene, daily foot checks, and footwear designed to minimize pressure and prevent injuries. Our custom-made orthotics help redistribute pressure, offering a practical solution for those prone to developing foot ulcers.

Regarding treatment, your chiropodist excels in managing slow-healing wounds and preventing infections. Diabetic patients often face challenges with wound healing due to reduced blood flow, but our team is equipped with advanced wound care techniques to accelerate recovery. From debridement to careful monitoring of open sores or blisters, we ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

At Werkman, Boven & Associates, we believe in a collaborative approach, working closely with other healthcare professionals to create personalized, comprehensive diabetes management plans. By integrating foot health into the broader scope of diabetes care, we aim to help patients maintain mobility and prevent serious complications.

Our chiropodists are committed to improving your quality of life with expert care, helping you stay one step ahead of potential diabetic foot issues.
