Why Diabetic Foot Care Is Essential

At Saint John Podiatry, we understand the unique challenges diabetes presents for foot health. Diabetic patients are at a higher risk for ulcers, infections, and slow-healing wounds. Without proper care, these can lead to serious complications, including amputation. That’s why regular foot screenings and early intervention are vital.

Diabetes affects circulation and nerve sensitivity in the feet, making it harder to feel injuries and heal from them. Even a minor sore can escalate quickly without attention. Our clinic helps diabetic patients in Saint John stay ahead of potential issues through proactive care and education.

Routine Diabetic Foot Screenings in Saint John

We provide in-depth diabetic foot assessments as part of your ongoing health management. Screenings include:

• Nerve Testing: Detecting early signs of neuropathy before it leads to injury.
• Circulation Checks: Assessing blood flow to ensure tissue health.
• Skin & Nail Evaluation: Identifying any calluses, wounds, or fungal infections.
• Footwear Review: Ensuring your shoes offer protection and pressure relief.

These routine checks are critical to catching problems early and maintaining long-term foot health.

Comprehensive Diabetic Foot Treatments

Saint John Podiatry offers advanced treatment options tailored for diabetic patients, including:

• Safe callus removal and nail care to reduce pressure points.
• Custom orthotics to protect feet and improve balance.
• Wound care for ulcers or cuts to promote faster healing.
• Education on daily foot checks, hygiene, and footwear choices.

Our goal is to help you maintain independence and mobility while reducing the risk of serious foot complications.
