Can your foot specialist help with arthritis?
Osteoarthritis develops as we age and is often called “wear-and-tear” arthritis. Signs and symptoms of arthritis include pain, tenderness, swelling, stiffness, and reduced motion with disability. The abuse encountered by the foot exposes it to great damage. As a result, balance and gait may be affected with other potential problems, like knee and back pains. Your foot specialist will begin early treatment to reduce and control structural problems within the foot and restore proper function to control the deterioration.
How does a Chiropodist help with diabetes?
Diabetes-related foot problems are a very common reason patients see our chiropodist in Mississauga. Diabetic foot problems can become very severe and are the third most common reason for hospitalization and the leading cause of amputation in the lower leg and foot. High blood sugar levels, can lead to; circulatory problems, nerve damage, kidney, heart, eyes, and skin damage.
Inspect feet carefully every day, using the hands to feel for areas of hard or dry skin, and a mirror to check the bottoms of the feet for any redness or cracking. These precautions can help prevent the feet from becoming ulcerated or infected, which may lead to amputation. Seeing a chiropodist can ensure that proper care is delivered and feet are monitored.
How can Chiropodists help with painful corns and calluses?
Corns and calluses, most often caused by ill-fitting shoes and structural problems, often cause severe pain if they are neglected. Regular care from a chiropodist, involving debridement of the area, maintains comfort and other complications. Our Mississauga Chiropodist also can create customized orthotics that can help by controlling stresses from deformities and reducing pressure on the feet and body.
See your chiropodist, ask questions, and discuss treatment options. Corns and calluses are sadly, often neglected until the pain is unbearable. Act now!
