Diabetic Foot Care

Our team is proud to provide help to patients who suffer from foot and ankle pain. We are especially happy to help individuals who have diabetes and related foot problems. Our diabetic foot care services begin with an analysis of your feet. If you are diabetic and have issues with your feet, it is important that you undergo such an analysis at least once per year. We have conveniently accessible offices in La Quinta, CA, Palm Springs, CA and Rancho Mirage, CA. Our examinations include analysis of the pulses and feeling in your feet.

Aside from ongoing foot analysis, it will also help to perform comprehensive diabetic foot care. As an example, washing your feet with warm water has the potential to alleviate pain. The use of talcum powder, cornstarch and other topical treatments can also help prevent infection. If you have calluses or corns, meet with our foot doctor for guidance as to how to best address these unique problems. Diabetic foot care patients should also be aware that nerve damages can lead to patches that transform into painful ulcers. Pumice stones, protection against hot and cold temperatures and specialized socks might also help mitigate your pain. When in doubt, lean on our foot specialists for treatment and ongoing guidance.
