Understanding Diabetic Foot Complications
Diabetes can lead to serious foot complications due to poor blood circulation and nerve damage (neuropathy). These complications can result in foot ulcers, infections, and, in severe cases, amputations. At Dr. Lodaya Hospital, we provide specialized diabetic foot care to prevent, manage, and treat these complications, ensuring our patients maintain optimal foot health and overall well-being.
The Importance of Diabetic Foot Care
Foot complications are a leading cause of hospitalizations for people with diabetes. Regular and proactive foot care is crucial in preventing severe outcomes. Our dedicated diabetic foot care program focuses on early detection, prevention, and effective treatment of foot-related issues, helping patients avoid unnecessary pain and complications.
Key Components of Our Diabetic Foot Care Program
Comprehensive Foot Examinations
Regular foot examinations are essential for detecting early signs of problems. Our specialists conduct thorough assessments, including:
- Visual Inspection: Checking for cuts, blisters, calluses, and other abnormalities.
- Sensation Testing: Using tools like monofilaments to assess nerve function and detect neuropathy.
- Circulation Evaluation: Assessing blood flow to identify any issues with circulation.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Based on the findings from the foot examinations, we develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s specific needs. These plans may include:
- Wound Care: Advanced treatments for existing foot ulcers and wounds to promote healing and prevent infections.
- Footwear Recommendations: Guidance on proper footwear to reduce pressure points and prevent injuries.
- Orthotic Devices: Custom orthotics to provide support and alleviate pressure on sensitive areas.
Preventive Education and Self-Care
Educating our patients is a cornerstone of our diabetic foot care program. We provide comprehensive guidance on:
- Daily Foot Care: Tips for daily inspection and cleaning to prevent infections.
- Proper Footwear: Advice on selecting appropriate shoes and socks to protect the feet.
Lifestyle Modifications: Encouraging healthy habits such as maintaining blood sugar levels, quitting smoking, and regular exercise.
Advanced Treatment Options
For more severe cases, we offer advanced treatment options, including:
- Surgical Interventions: When necessary, surgical procedures to address severe foot problems and prevent further complications.
- Ozone Therapy: A treatment that enhances wound healing by increasing oxygen supply to affected areas.
