The foot is a complex body part with 26 different bones. In total, you have 52 bones in both feet; that is 25% of all the bones in your body! The foot is so complex that any serious problems should be treated by a podiatrist.

What Does a Podiatrist Do?

Podiatrists treat a variety of different diseases, disorders, and injuries. Our doctors specialize in providing diabetic foot care, which is important to prevent or manage nerve damage. If you have diabetes, daily foot care is necessary to prevent complications. Our podiatrist can help by periodically checking your feet and providing more urgent services if you notice changes in your pain or sensation levels. It's extra important to seek the care of a podiatrist if you suffer from diabetes or other conditions that can affect your feet.

There are several medical techniques used to treat these various diseases. Treatment can include things like medication, surgery, and physical therapies. We can also fit corrective shoe inserts called orthotics, as well as design custom shoes to provide diabetic foot care.

Podiatrists use several different tools to create orthotics and other methods for diabetic foot care. We use a tool called a force plate or scanner to design orthotics. A patient must walk along a plate that is connected to computers that measure different parts of the foot as well as weight distribution and pressure points.

Athlete's Foot is one of the most common foot problems. Athlete's Foot is spread by coming in contact with an infected area such as a gym locker room or swimming pool. Symptoms include burning and itching on the foot. Fungal infections can also spread to other parts of the body, if not treated effectively. Our podiatrist can help diagnose and quickly treat this issue to prevent further infection.

We Offer Diabetic Foot Treatment in Vero Beach!

There are a few key indicators that may hint towards diabetic foot pain. Should you experience numbness or reduced ability to feel pain or temperature change, a burning or tingling sensation, sharp pains, or muscle weakness, give us a call. We will assist you if you need diabetic foot care.

In order to get an accurate diagnosis, we might also order X-rays and lab tests. The foot can be a good indicator of other diseases and disorders like arthritis, diabetes, and even heart disease. A diabetic patient will be more prone to things like foot ulcers and infections due to poor circulation. This is commonly referred to as diabetic foot. In these cases, a doctor will consult with other doctors to investigate these symptoms further.

If you have diabetes, taking proper care of your feet is vital. Wash your feet every day in warm water - don't soak them. Dry them carefully and completely, then apply lotion to the tops and bottoms of your feet. Lotion between your toes could cause an infection, so avoid applying it there. Always wear well-fitting shoes and socks or slippers to avoid injury to your feet, even inside. Keep your toenails well-trimmed and gently smooth any sharp edges; we can trim your toenails if you can't reach your feet, or you could visit a reputable nail salon for a pedicure. To exercise, choose foot-friendly activities such as walking, biking, or swimming. We will be happy to help you further with proper diabetic foot care tips.
