01
Numbness or Tingling
Reduced sensation, tingling, or burning feelings that may occur due to nerve damage.
Diabetic Foot Care
Understanding
Diabetic Foot
Diabetic foot problems arise from a combination of nerve damage and poor circulation. This leads to loss of sensation, slow healing, and higher chances of infection.

Understanding
Diabetic Foot Complications
Diabetic foot problems arise from a combination of nerve damage and poor circulation. This leads to loss of sensation, slow healing, and higher chances of infection.
With early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care, most complications can be prevented. Our approach focuses on wound care, vascular health, and patient education to preserve limb function.
Foot Health
Common Symptoms
Recognize early warning signs to help protect your feet and support timely evaluation when symptoms appear.
02
Foot Ulcers
Open sores, cuts, or wounds that heal slowly or fail to heal properly.
03
Skin Changes
Dry, cracked, peeling skin or unusual dark, pale, or patchy discoloration.
04
Foot Deformities
Changes in foot shape, including hammertoes, prominent pressure points, or collapsed arches.
05
Pain or Difficulty Walking
Foot discomfort, weakness, or pain that makes walking short distances difficult.
06
Swelling & Warmth
Swelling, redness, or increased warmth that may indicate inflammation, infection, or circulation problems.
Causes & Risk Factors
Why Diabetic Foot
Problems Develop
Diabetic foot problems can develop when nerve damage, reduced blood flow, elevated blood sugar, and repeated pressure or injury affect the feet. Several factors can increase the risk of wounds, ulcers, infection, and delayed healing.
Peripheral Neuropathy
Nerve damage reduces sensation, increasing the risk of unnoticed injuries, pressure points, and foot wounds.
Poor Circulation
Reduced blood supply can slow wound healing and increase the risk of infection and tissue damage.
High Blood Sugar
Persistent hyperglycemia can damage nerves and blood vessels, contributing to reduced sensation and impaired healing.
Foot Deformities
Bone or joint changes can create uneven pressure on the foot and contribute to calluses, pressure areas, and wounds.
Improper Footwear
Tight, poorly fitting, or unsuitable footwear can create repeated pressure and friction that may lead to sores.
Smoking
Smoking can worsen circulation and may delay healing, increasing the risk of complications in an already vulnerable foot.
Accurate Diagnosis Process
Assessing Your Foot Health
With Precision.
Accurate assessment helps identify nerve damage, circulation problems, wounds, infection and other factors affecting foot health. These findings guide an individualized treatment plan.
Clinical Assessment
Foot Examination
Inspection of the skin, sensation, pulses, foot shape, pressure areas and visible wounds helps identify potential problems early.
Nerve Function
Neurological Testing
Monofilament, tuning fork and reflex testing can help assess sensation and identify changes associated with peripheral neuropathy.
Circulation Assessment
Vascular Assessment
Pulse examination, ankle-brachial index and toe pressure measurements help assess blood supply to the foot.
Diabetic Foot Assessment
Diagnostic Imaging
Imaging Tests
X-rays, MRI or ultrasound may be used when needed to assess bone, soft tissue, circulation or deeper complications.
Wound Assessment
Wound Classification
Ulcers are assessed for size, depth, tissue involvement and other clinical features to help determine severity and guide care.
Laboratory Assessment
Blood Tests
Blood tests can help assess glucose control, infection markers and other factors that may influence wound healing and recovery.
Advanced Treatment Options
Comprehensive Care for Diabetic Foot
Treatment is selected according to the condition of the wound, circulation, infection status, pressure on the foot, and overall diabetic control. A combination of wound care, pressure relief, infection management, vascular treatment, and prevention may be recommended based on individual needs.
01
Wound Management
Wound Debridement
Careful removal of dead or infected tissue from a diabetic foot wound. Debridement can help expose healthier tissue and create a cleaner wound environment for ongoing care.
Key Benefits
- Promotes healthy tissue growth
- Reduces infection risk
- Supports wound healing
02
Pressure Relief
Offloading & Footwear
Custom shoes, casts, or protective boots can reduce pressure on ulcers and vulnerable areas of the foot. Offloading helps limit repeated pressure while the wound is being treated.
Key Benefits
- Allows wounds to heal
- Helps prevent recurrence
- Reduces pressure on vulnerable areas
03
Infection Management
Infection Control
Targeted antibiotics and appropriate wound dressings may be used when infection is present. Treatment is guided by the clinical assessment and the severity of the infection.
Key Benefits
- Helps control infection
- Protects surrounding tissue
- Supports wound recovery
04
Vascular Care
Vascular Procedures
Angioplasty, stenting, or bypass surgery may be considered when reduced blood flow is contributing to poor wound healing or tissue damage. The appropriate option depends on vascular assessment.
Key Benefits
- Improves blood flow
- Supports wound healing
- Helps protect vulnerable tissue
05
Advanced Wound Care
Advanced Wound Care
Advanced wound management may include vacuum dressings, skin grafts, or bioengineered tissue when clinically appropriate. The approach is selected according to wound characteristics and healing progress.
Key Benefits
- Supports complex wound healing
- Helps manage difficult wounds
- Supports tissue preservation
06
Long-Term Prevention
Prevention & Education
Daily foot care, suitable footwear, blood sugar management, and regular examinations can help reduce the risk of ulcers and other diabetic foot complications. Patients are guided on practical measures for ongoing foot protection.
Key Benefits
- Helps prevent foot ulcers
- Supports regular foot care
- Encourages long-term foot protection
