Many diabetics have poor sensation in their
feet. Yet they insist on wearing shoes that are too tight. please click DIABETIC SHOES |
|
In treating diabetic foot ulcerations, I believe every patient should have their shoegear
evaluated to ensure that no biomechanical forces are impairing wound care healing. Please click WOUND CARE PODIATRIST |
|
I believe that if a diabetic
foot is swollen and PVD is present, think twice before elevating that foot too high. Be careful. |
|
Foot elevation can
possibly help swelling but this could possibly impair blood flow to the feet in an ischemic foot ( a foot lacking blood flow needed to survive. |
|
Sometimes diabetics can have good pedal pulses and an ischemic foot due to
small vascular disease of diabetes. Signs of this might be decreased hair growth, decreased thin skin texture, thickened toenails, color changes in the toes, temperature changes in the toes ( toes feel cold ), etc.... |
|
I believe the sub specialty of podiatric orthopedics and primary podiatric
medicine is important. There are many patients who have poor circulation in the feet that would benefit from a podiatrist, vascular doctor and internist working as a team. |
