Diabetic patients have an increased risk of foot problems, so they should pay close attention to the health of their feet. These patients should regularly see their podiatrist and come in immediately at the first sign of injury. Nonhealing wounds, life-threatening gangrene, and amputation are very real threats for patients whose diabetes is insufficiently controlled.
Foot & Ankle Pain Treatments
Your treatment options will depend on your diagnosis and may include nonsurgical treatments as well as surgery options.
Custom orthotics are used to help correct many different foot and ankle issues. These made-to-order devices can correct structural problems that can lead to knee, hip, and spine pain or degenerative arthritis. Orthotics can also help alleviate painful symptoms of plantar fasciitis, bursitis, and more.
Surgery may be required to treat fractures or malformations, or in severe cases of bunions, heel spurs, and more.
