It’s National Diabetes Week 🦶

Did you know Diabetes impacts your blood vessels and nerves throughout your body? The vessels and nerves in your feet have travelled the furthest, so they can be the first to show signs of damage. And if you have reduced blood flow and damaged nerves in your feet? This slows down healing, reduces your ability to cope with daily activity and increases your risk of infections and ulcers (wounds that don’t heal).

Podiatrists play a key role in early detection and prevention. In fact, it is recommended that everyone with diabetes has their feet checked for signs of complications at least every year.

📅 Don’t wait. Schedule an appointment with one of our podiatrists!

Removing the callus and cracks can be done safely and effectively by your podiatrist. 🧑‍⚕️🦶

Your podiatrist will carefully debride the hard skin by hand, using their expertise to remove the ‘problem’ excess skin, but leaving the right amount of natural protection. A burr is then used to smooth the skin, getting rid of any uneven ridges.

The first signs of diabetes complications often show up in your feet. 🦶

When blood sugar is poorly managed, it can harm your nerves and blood vessel, especially in areas furthest from the heart and brain. That means your feet are often the first to feel the effects.

Don't ignore numbness, tingling, or pain. Your feet could be telling you something important!

No one enjoys heel pain. Curious to know that the do’s and don’ts are with footwear?
Do:
✅ Get a custom fit
✅ Wear Orthotic Insoles

Don’t:
✅ Wear high heels: Repetitive use of high heels can shorten the Achillies tendon. Save these for special occasions.

Heel spurs are a sign of long-term irritation of the plantar fascia or the achilles tendon on your calcaneus. They are a sign of chronicity, even if your foot has only been painful for a few weeks.
What groups have a higher rate of heel spurs?
👩 Women: Tend to wear higher heeled shoes, which shorten the Achilles tendon over time.
👴Older adults: Long-term wear, tear and stress on feet contribute to the development of heel spurs. Fat Pad Syndrome may also elevate the risk.
👟 Active Individuals: People that perform highly physical activities over an extensive period.

Wondering what causes fungal nail infections ? 🦶 🤔
Fungal nail infections are caused when a mold (aka dermatophyte, aka a type of fungus) makes its way under your toenail. If it can infiltrate the nail bed and nail plate, it has a perfect environment to live long and prosper! You can commonly pick them up in warm, moist places like public pools, gyms, and showers. Your sneakers and work boots can also create the perfect environment for the infection to grow and spread. 👟
Don’t wait—start treatment early for the best results! Book an appointment with one of our friendly podiatrist! 🗓️

You can develop a bunion on the outside of your foot. It's called a tailor's bunion or bunionette.

It can cause pain, rubbing, and trouble fitting shoes.

Fun Fact: Tailor’s bunions get their name from tailors who would sit with their legs crossed while stitching.

If you're noticing discomfort, visit your local podiatrist to learn about treatment options! 👣
